Falling Waters to Bridle Path.
Ideal winter conditions, packed powder throughout. The Falling Waters were still today, covered by a thick blanket of snow and ice. I used Microspikes the whole way. There were a few places that snowshoes would have been better, but we're imparactical overall.
I saw only five people all day. Where were the rest of you? This was as close to perfect as you can find. Little wind, sun all day. Great views - Mt Mansfield and its snow was visible most of the day. Sunscreen the most valuable part of your kit.
Winter peak bagging is good - I do it, but this was a day that called for cars parked on the side of the highway.
