An arctic high

Green Mnt hikeYesterday it was like 50 degrees F. Today it was cold with temps around 4 degrees F. Not to mention a fresh coating of 2-4 inches of snow on everything. It was definitely not a day to be on the bike....or at least be on the bike and be comfortable. So, do the other option: winter sports. Not enough snow down low to snowshoe...so Sonya and I went for a 4.5 hour hike to the summit of Green Mountain.

Green Mountain hikeThe summit of Green Mountain looking west. Too bad there are so many clouds, it keeps us from seeing the Divide.


Green Mountain hikeSuunto T6 shows 8,143 ft. Not bad, only 1 foot off from all the maps recordings.



I leave you with the summit 360 view and all of the days photos.
