Date of Hike: Sunday, January 18, 2009
Trail Conditions: Packed powder, powder, windblown
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes
Comments:
Nineteen Mile Brook to Carter Dome Trail - well packed, barebootable. No blowdowns.
Carter Dome Trail to Zeta Pass - had to break 6" of snow on the way up, broke another 6" of snow on the way back down. A few blowdowns, none too tough. Larger water crossings are bridged.
Carter-Moriah Trail from Zeta Pass to South Carter - tracks from a day earlier pretty much gone. On the way back, much of my tracks were gone. Broke through 6-12" of snow, drifts upwards of 2 feet. A few blowdowns, including one or two that could disorient someone not familiar with the trail.
Carter Moriah Trail from South Carter to Middle Carter - lots of drifting, my tracks were erased in less than 5 minutes in many places. Drifts upwards of about 3 feet deep. A few blowdowns.
Carter Dome Trail to Carter Dome - I broke 1-3' of powder (2-3' up high, 1-2' down low). Trail is now well packed. A few annoying blowdowns.
