 | Comments: |
Solid trail conditions despite a visit from Postholio on the Mt Kinsman Trail, lower sections have several areas where the track was comprised. Upper sections solid with 6" of fresh, dense powder. Kinsman Ridge trail broken out to the south peak, with heavy drifting in a few areas. Solid snow conditions and good traction on the ridge, minimal wind. Ran into another snowshoer on the out-and-back, but otherwise had the trail to myself. |
