Trip Report/Photos

It was a perfect mid-winter day to hike the west side of Mt. Washington with sunny skies, unseasonably mild temps and light winds!  Jewell trail was well stomped out so the entire hike could be done with microspikes. Enjoyed thai soup on the summit in the warm sun with a lot of skiers & hikers (summit was busy!) before heading down.  Was able to sled down much of the descent.   Entire hike took about 7 hours.
