Up Winslow Trail and down Barlow Trail..Winslow Trail had been used by a sled but it caused no issues for us 4 snowshoers; some ice under snow on some rocks and ledges; summit area mainly clear of snow; Barlow Trail had some ice on upper part, snow getting softer lower..snowshoes worked well and did not ball on on us...nices views from MA, VT around to Chocorua and east.. |
