A chilly start but low winds. After parking, snowshoed up to the Signal Ridge trailhead on well-groomed Sawyer River Rd; Some sled traffic.
At about a 1/4 mile in on Signal Ridge Trail, which was broken out btw, I Found a nice start for the bushwhack, following a narrow spine upwards toward the summit register.
This is a nice shwack, in open woods, but with several false summits. The descent was fine but had to 'ski' down a handful of icy sections hiding under the new snow.
This is a NH 500 Highest Peak.
