Best Hiking Window
Sunday presents the clearest sky of the immediate forecast window, but the extreme cold makes it suitable only for well-prepared, experienced winter hikers. An early morning start on Sunday maximizes the available daylight (approximately 11 hours). Monday conditions deteriorate sharply with a high of only 11°F and overcast skies — avoid that day unless conditions improve unexpectedly. Wednesday carries significant precipitation risk and should be avoided for planning purposes.
Trail: Mahoosuc Trail
Conditions: Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Snow - Unpacked Powder, Snow - Drifts
“Trail conditions were good, some mud in low areas under the snow. I felt it was to bony for snowshoes, but the snow was sandy/loose powder. Last mile had the most coverage, and the last 1/4 mile was loose drifted snow but still only boot depth. This review is prior to a rain event the next day.”
Trail: Centennial Trail, Mahoosuc Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Ice - Breakable Crust, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular, Snow/Ice - Small Patches
“The first mile is almost dry and snow is gradually coming in as we get elevation. On the summit it's about ankle deep so don't bother bringing snowshoes like I did! Microspikes might be useful on the ledges for some. Take some time to check the 3-4 vistas on the way up, some are a bit offtrail. The greatest view is about .3 mile after the junction with Mahoosuc trail. Enjoy!!”
Trail: Peabody Brook Trail, Mahoosuc Trail, Centennial Trail
Conditions: Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Leaves - Significant/Slippery
“All kinds of conditions today. Started early so had some nice views of all the surrounding mountains until about 11:00. Peabody Brook Trail was mostly dry except for a few avoidable wet sections. Views from Bald Cap Ledges were excellent. Trace snow started right around 2000'. Above 2500', the bog bridges were mostly frozen and therefore slippery. Short whack to Bald Cap from Wocket Ledge. Around Trident Col, the clouds lowered and snow started. Above 2000', a good inch of snow fell. Very nice walking in the snowy forest from there to Mt. Hayes until I hiked below the snow line at ~1800'. I followed Centennial Trail and walked the road back to the truck. All in all, a very nice day out in the woods. This was #198/203 for the NH200 and #425/457 for the NE3k's.”
