I dropped one of my Mountain Hardware shell gloves right near the peak of Hale. If you find it, please call 978-930-6568. This is one of my favorite pairs, so I would really love to get it back. |

Snowing most of the time during the hike. The trails were quite rutted after the recent thaw/rain (from bare-booters). Skis made it OK for the first/last 2 miles. Hopefully my use of snowshoes and snowfall during the day helped to pack it in a bit more. |
