Comments
Comments: Snowshoes all the way. That's to say I started in spikes for about .2 miles (and saw others in spikes/bareboot) but there was enough movable powder that snowshoes were the best footing. Seems most traffic goes to Cave Mountain. Mt. Langdon Trail had less traffic the farther I went in; no recent traffic after a couple miles, with a couple to a few inches of new snow. The trail gets a little rough a bit before the Mt. Parker Trail intersection - this is more from lack of travel/consolidation rather than poor choice of footwear. So it's not so much postholed but just very choppy and rough. A nice quiet trail with absolutely beautiful views at the summit!!
