I went snowshoeing on Seymour this morning. This is the sunrise from Brockton Point. There was blue sky on one side and a very dark cloud that passed over on the other side.
Visibility after First Peak was a bit sketchy and the trail wasn't very well traveled so I stopped just past First peak. First hike of the season I need to ease into it. Nice to see the snow again.
The snow was very nice. Two weeks ago there was almost no snow. Today was awesome. Just as I was coming down from First peak three ladies from Ireland were coming up. One was from Dublin and the other two were from Monaghan county.
If you want to get a parking spot you have to go early. They don't open the road up the mountain until 7:00 AM and I was there at 7:05. They make the snowshoers park down by the toboggan run so if you get there late you have a very long hike up from the parking spot too the beginning of the hike.
You also need to get a free parking pass online before you go. Cypress doesn't require one. I think Seymour uses them to regulate parking. I was heading down the mountain just after noon and the line to go up the mountain was crazy.
