 | Comments: |
Working on a goal brought me back to the backside approach to Black, which I like better than the ski trail.
Things started out wet as there were light showers around this morning. Some patches of snow along East Pasture with a more consistent dusting up on the ridge. Nothing that required traction and it will all be gone quickly.
The view of Mt. Washington from Black Mtn. Cabin is mostly gone now. Views from the summit of the middle peak are still very restricted.
The spring for the cabin had a very light flow of water but it is running if you need it. |
