NEARBY SNOW CONDITIONS

Alexandria, N. H.: Open slopes of Mt. Cardigan have a hard crust with several inches of wet snow on top. The trails have not been broken but have an unbreakable crust with three inches of corn snow. Laconia, N. H.: Gunstock trails are fairly well covered but unbroken for the most part. Open slopes have abundance of snow but inclined to be sticky. Near melting temperatures. Pinkham Notch, N. H.: Washington and Wildeat trails partially broken. Thirteen inches at summit and 11 1-2 inches average of wet snow over hard crust provides good skiing, not too fast. Stowe, Vt.: Continued snowfall makes good skiing on Mt. Mansfield. The continuance of tonight's rain makes prophesy difficult. If the temperature remains constant, conditions north of Laconia should be excellent, if it warms up there will probably be a breakable crust in most places. Better telephone before going.
