A mid/late afternoon snowshoe into cold winter beauty. Broke trail up the Greeley Ponds XC Ski Trail, as the Greeley Ponds hiking trail parking lot is not being plowed this winter, and the walk up the narrow Kanc, with cars whipping around a curve, is unappealing. Due to the parking situation, this trail is seeing more use this winter - there was a solid snowshoe track under the 8" of powder, along with parallel indentations from old ski tracks.
Barebooting is a no-no.
Not much warmth from the sun in here.
A small slide from Tropical Storm Irene.
