Conditions on Mount Roberts?

[Mohamed Ellozy]

I am planning to hike Mount Roberts (up and down by Shannon Brook and Mount Roberts trails) on Saturday. The last trip report from the Ossipees is from late February, any more recent information? Specifically, are snowshoes likely to be needed?

Thanks!!

Probably won't need the snowshoes. I barebooted on Shannon Brook on Monday. The mountain is covered with groomed snowmobile trails. With the thaw on Weds & Thurs, followed by freeze, the trails should be good and crusty.

Sorry Mo, too late to do you any good, but someone might make use of this info.

Thanks for the info! My companion for that trip is sick, and I am not hiking anywhere today.

Is the snowmobile traffic on Shannon Brook Trail heavy enough to be an issue while hiking?

I saw the Bureau of Trails groomer and one snowmobile all day, but it was a Monday. On a weekend day, I would advise staying alert.
