Awesome quick hike this morning. Going up Mt Pemigewasset trail things are very well broken out and consolidated. Coming down Indian Head it’s nots as compacted hut still broken. Could’ve barebooted the whole thing but it would have been annoying with the couple three inches of powder on the trail. Spikes from just about 0.5 miles in were perfect, snowshoes would’ve been overkill. Summit ledge is completely packed down and could become dangerously slick if it glazed over. Cold temps at the start, +13, warmed significantly up high in the sun making dressing difficult. Cooled off again coming down but the sweat was already flowing. All in all a nice chance to get out and work off some turkey. |
