| Comments: |
Lower level about 6 inches of powder over a few patches of ice. More (~8 inches) farther up.
Rough going with micro-spikes (no gaiters) Snow shoes better.
I expect trail will get packed soon unless more snowfall.
Howe Hill side is generally colder than AccuWeather predicts.
Surprising good cell phone signal strength on summit. |
