Comments
Comments: I broke trail the whole way up to Moriah. Snow was very soft most of the way up to the ridge and then most of the snow on the ridge had a layer of ice. Beautiful at the top. I didn't see anyone on during the hike but while I was summitting Moriah it looked like a group came down Carter-Moriah from the South and headed down Stony Brook Trail. Stony Brook is well trekked out but also very mushy with some exposed rock at lower elevations. I finished around 1pm so I imagine things only worsened over the course of the afternoon.
