 | Comments: |
Still plenty of snow within the Ossipee ring dike area.
Snowmobile trail was mostly snow covered, some bare patches forming in the sun.
Bayle Mountain Trail was hardback snow, some old postholes throughout. Snow was firm this morning. Boulder area is very cool, some neat glacial erratics in there. Ledges up near the top along the trail were clear of snow though wet with small ice patches. Top was still snowy, hardpack.
We just used light traction, snowshoes were not needed and got a free ride. Snow will get softer as the week goes on, so snowshoes would be good to bring. |
