 | Comments: |
Mt. Rowe Trail is virtually snow free. Apart from a few minor mucky areas (mostly just after the boardwalk), it is mostly dry.
Yellow Trail is snow free up the steeps, but there is a stretch of ice monorail around the private woods road area. This can be avoided by hopping onto the upper Mt. Rowe Trail (switchbacks just to the right). I made it up without light traction, but that 1/10th mile stretch of the Yellow Trail is still a little borderline.
Ridge Trail is mostly dry and snow free.
Still continuous snow cover visible on most of the Gunstock ski trails. A little ice visible on Winnipesaukee as well. No flowers in bloom yet.
Fairly dry day today with a few glimpses of blue sky and temperatures in the lower 70s. |
