 | Comments: |
Snow is not quite continuous under the lower Green Mountain Express Quad lift line, but is continuous from North Ridge Express up to just below the summit. Long Trail is technically closed for mud season, but the few dozen feet from the top of the ski area to the summit is still covered in 1-2 feet of snow, so no damage was done. Wore snowshoes roundtrip, but skis would be ideal.
Cloudy afternoon with the fog eventually pushing out. |
