1-29-11 Mount Worcester

This time up Worcester the snow was at least 2 feet deep. The trail was mostly unbroken which made the steep ascent a challenge.
The snow stuck to the trees in globs. Beautiful. This was the last sunlight for the trip.
It is hard to see but this is the signpost for the summit. It is buried under snow.
The view was obscured but the snow was stunning unto itself. I learned a great deal about snowshoing and what happens when you fall though the gaps made by trees buried under the snow. Suddenly I was shoulder deep in soft snow with no leverage to get up. Heather helped me out but I got a feeling for what kind of tricky situation you could get into.
