Spring Hike

But that was yesterday, what about today? That fluffy snow I was talking about? Well, we got a bit more today. Before you get too excited though, we also received high winds. This means everything that had fallen last week and today has been on the move over the course of the day. For hikers, this means drifts that were there yesterday may now be gone or at least relocated. This also means some areas will likely have more ice exposed than they might have had over the weekend. For skiers, this likely means that the eastern side of the Presidential Range likely received some additional snow, not only from what fell today but from what was blown in. While this sounds great, it might increase avalanche dangers on Tuesday. With this in mind, hikers or skiers, prior to booting up tomorrow, should check the Mount Washington Avalanche Center for back country conditions. You can also check the days expected weather conditions at our Higher Summits Forecast page and lower trail conditions on the AMC Trail Conditions page or any one of several forums, blogs, or Facebook groups available out there.
