 | Comments: |
Fifty cent day for Starr King and Waumbek. Trail fairly solid, micros start to finish. Approx 5 inches of fresh powder on a nice track. Small section of unbroken trail between summit and viewpoint with drifts. It was nice crossing paths and chatting with Hiker Ed as well as 7 others enjoying this fine day. |
