Date 16 Feb trial conditions 2ft light snow with a 1/2" crust. Well-broken on the Kelley trial, but unbroken (well, it's broken now) on the Lawrence. Snowshoes required. weather just above freezing with light-to-no wind. Very comfortable. views excellent from the ledges co-conspirators...

Route: AT up to the peak, Ranger's Trail down. Recommend this rather than the other way - AT affords nice views from the ridge at the cost of some pointless up and down. Ranger's Trail easy but boring. Weather conditions: barely above freezing at the top. Wind gentle when in the trees and...
