Snowshoeing Watatic

(c) Roger Leo

Enjoying the snow while it's still falling is a good idea this winter of little snow and lots of thaw. This day, the route was up Watatic and over to Nutting Hill, both in Ashburnham, Mass. My friend used Atlas Elektra 1025s -- a women's snowshoe -- and Black Diamond poles, and wore a Camelbak. I was on Atlas 1030s with Exel backcountry poles.
