Six of us hiked to the summit of Mt Avalon. The summit has an elevation of 3440 feet and is one of the 52 WAV peaks. The trail was firmly packed snow for the most part. The steep sections were icier. The micro spikes and trail crampons worked just fine as there were no falls on the way up or down. The weather was in the low 20s with some wind near the train station at Crawford Notch. Once we were in the woods, the wind wasn't an issue. Several of us did some butt sliding on the way down the steep section. Lots of laughing was heard. It drowned out the screams. The group enjoyed lunch at Yaya's near Twin Mountain after the hike.
The group consisted of Carol, Jane, Katherine, Pam, Patsy and Doug.
