No problems except north Kinsman Ridge Trail between Fishin Jimmy and Lonesome Lake Trail where many small blow downs (walk arounds), trail somewhat difficult to follow due to low use and because of deep snow. You're walking in the canopy of the trees much of the way: but still a really fun and beautiful trail. |

 | Comments: |
Used micros in the morning into hut and up Fishin Jimmy until I got to the stepper part of the trail when I switched to snowshoes to use the elevators and then used them for the rest of the day. A lot of people are bare booting; but the snow is really softening up in the afternoons on these warm days. The soft afternoon snow is really slippery, not to mention you'll punch thru if not on the monorail. Incredibly beautiful day! |
