Trails: Old Bridal Path, Franconia Ridge, Falling Waters Comments & conditions: All trails are well broken out. We used snowshoes today but saw many people in crampons or micro-spikes. Spectacular day on the ridge with light winds and crystal-clear views of everything. Great day to be...

Trails: Sawyer River Road and Signal Ridge trail. The road is easily barebooted due to the snowmobile traffic. Signal Ridge trail was all broken out when we got there this morning. Another nine people hiked it today (most with snowshoes) so it is now in great shape. Comments: Terrific clear...

Trail Conditions: Mostly slush to gravel to watery ice on the Stony Brook Trail. The open ledges on the Carter Moriah trail had a thick ice coat in most places. In the trees, it was a mix of standing or running water or 3-4" of wet snow. Altogether it was a little of everything (except deep...

My observations echo that of Bryan's fine 12/23 post. By yesterday morning it was far too bony for snowshoes, microspikes did the job all day for the other VFTTers I met on the peaks (one had come up from Livermore & Scaur, the other via Pine Bend). I had switched into my crampons mid-way up...
