Trip Report

Great day for a snow shoe trip. Perfectly clear, cold enough to keep the snow from getting to mushy. Warm enough to sit and admire the view of the Three Sisters and soak up the sun. Spring conditions. Along with the Sisters you get a great view of Mt Washington and Three Fingered Jack. A shout out to Mike Smith who I think had something to do with installing enough blue diamonds on the upper part of the trail so that we had a very easy time negotiating that section.
