 | Comments: |
Snowshoes from the car to the car. Only a handful of thin spots, mostly on rocks and stairs. Near-mint powder snowshoeing on 12+ inches freshies :) Lonesome Lake is pretty solid. Fishin' Jimmy has out-and-back two people in snowshoes plus a dog. Kinsman Ridge as well, plus one bareboot visitor who'd come up from the Mount Kinsman Trail (west) side. |
