 Good morning folks, Its another fine morning on everyone’s favorite snowy mountain top. The high yesterday only reached 27 degrees. The low dropped down to 8 degrees. It’s currently 26 degrees with light winds pushing through camp. No precipitation was recorded and our snow depth stands at 18”. Roads should open today. Be patient folks. Park road crews work very hard opening these roads back up safely for visitors. Who will be the first to break trail to the top….? On a side note. Shoveling snow to the spring was a workout yesterday. With all my chores done it was time for some winter sports on Leconte. Breaking out the rustic boots and skis, I was off to Alum. The upper end of the trail is the perfect area for some cross country skiing. Laying down fresh tracks I worked up an appetite. People will wonder what these tracks are when they see them. Definitely not fox or bobcat tracks. Anyways, it was a great day on the mountain and looks to be warmer today and plenty of sun. Have a great day! SEE YOU AT THE TOP PNUT

Absolutely beautiful pictures. Your pictures and daily updates of the mountain are the highlight of my mornings. I'll be hiking up there this weekend with a group of friends. I hope we get a chance to meet and say hello.

Hey PNUT!! We love your daily updates and your pictures are awesome. A big group of us are driving up from Georgia Friday night. Hotel reservations in Gatlinburg are all set. We're gonna start at sunrise on Saturday and hike to the top. We're looking forward to seeing all that snow. Hope to meet you when we get up there. Keep doing the great job you are doing. Stay safe & warm. See you Saturday!!

Sounds good. Looks like a great weekend. Colder but sunny. Get micro spikes you will need them. I’ll be at sunrise as well. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
