2-4" new snow. At the bottom over ice, shortly past the right hand turn off the logging road less ice and more packed powder under the new snow. Hard packed snow under the new snow starting on the long traverse in the evergreens to the summit of Waumbek. Most of the ice flows are covered with packed snow. The ice was very soft on the few spots where it was exposed. Excellent purchase with spikes. Four other folks hiked today. The trail should be in great shape till the next storm. Spikes door to door. |
