Trails: 19 Mile Brook, Carter Moriah, Carter Dome, 19 Mile exit...
19 Mile: used microspikes up to Carter Lakes, also could have barebooted;
Carter Moriah: one snowshoe track had come down from the summit to the hut area, but no way packed...we snowshoed up and over (MSR's provided the traction needed with a couple of slips)...some deep drifts in areas..
Carter Dome Trail: deep snow and drifts in spots, only a few areas where a trench from the other day's hiker visible up high; after Zeta Pass, still soft and snowshoes were needed...back at 19 Mile jct. switched back to spikes....
Excellent view day until after noon time when an ice cloud came in over the Presidentials and also on Carter Dome...but it was only temporary...we witnessed the Carter Hut being supplied by the yellow helicopter, numerous runs...glad the load did not let go as we were right under it while we were snowshoeing up for the trip up from the lake!! Friend Rod getting close to completing his 4th round of NH 4ks!
