Thanks to everyone for a great day walking on Waterville Valley cross country ski trails for a loop hike up to the top of Snow's Mountain.     We hiked up Livermore Road to Upper Snow's trail, with pretty much a continual 2-3 inches of hard pack snow and ice, so microspikes and yak traks came in handy.    We stopped to admire the upper portion of the Waterville Valley cascades, which were raging due to the snow melt.   At the top of Snow's Mountain we ate our lunches sitting by the chairlift.   Snow's Mountain used to be the downhill ski area for Waterville Valley decades ago until the current downhill ski area on Mount Tecumseh replaced it.   You can still ride the chairlift in the spring, summer, and fall, but it does not run in winter.    There wasn't that much snow after we left the top to go down Beanbender and Swazeytown ski trails, and then we walked on roads, past the Waterville Valley Academy and the library, to the Connector trail.   On the connector trail we admired the raging stream and some beautiful houses alongside the trail.
