true statement..but the shots along the ridge show that the day was worth it!!

nice

Very fine effort and thanks for the photos. Skiable snow on the SE snowfields and in Oakes Gulf appears to be going fast.

What's all that white stuff!?? I just packed away my snowshoes!

Nice photos! Looks like a great day up on the ridge!

Thank you, all! What a marvelous, marvelous day it was to be above treeline - far better than the forecasts predicted. Lion Head, Tuckerman Ravine, and Camel were new trails for me, too... always exciting to explore new terrain.

The amount of snow that still lingers on the Davis Path is just crazy. Although I'm not the best at estimates, I'd say that it's around 5 feet deep in areas (most likely in the places where we lost the trail ). Snowshoes were a definite for our trip, though it will be interesting to see how quickly the snow melts out.

Nice Pics!! Thanks for sharing!!
Looks like a great day to be up there!

Very Cool!

I don't think I would have chosen to do them in this order if I chose to do them all in one trip. So, very cool sequence.

I love the Camel Trail. I love Bigelow Lawn and Boott Spur. Special place.
