 | Comments: |
Went up Smarts Brook to the Sandwich Dome summit. Trail was mostly unbroken beyond the trail network near the road. There was about 1" of loose powder over a thick hard crust over not too much more powder. Jumped off trail at around 2800ft on the descent and bushwhacked through mostly open woods down the ridgeline to Acteon Ridge. There's a lot of gorgeous open ledges throughout the ridge line. |
