From Trailhead to treeline: Dry ground the first half of the trail. The second half was crusty/consolidated snow in the morning, but slushy (still consolidated) snow in the afternoon. Postholed once or twice. Microspikes would have been somewhat valuable, but I didn't waste the time putting them on and off even though I had them in my pack (i.e., not necessary). From Treeline to Belford: Mostly wind-blown and snow free! Only a couple patches of snow to cross. From Belford to Oxford: Almost no snow at all that wasn't easily avoidable. I do recall one patch a short ways from the Belford summit that had to be crossed in order to stay on the trail, but that was about it! Questions? Feel free to ask! |
