Comments
Comments: Lonesome Lake trail up to the lake is a sidewalk, we bare booted out and didn't make a mark in the snow. Lake is frozen and safe to cross (safe enough that it held me anyways). Fishin Jimmy is also in great shape, though the last steep section is fairly icy as some people butt sliding cleared most of the snow, some might prefer more agressive traction here. KRT was in good shape though much softer than the others, snowshoes would be best here to maintain the footbed.



Overall there isn't a whole lot of snow up here and what is there is well consolidated.
