 | Comments: |
Snow conditions on trails do not get any better; bare booted to top of Kinsman, used snowshoes for traverse to South Kinsman and all the way down in the dark, with some excellent snowshoe "skiing" opportunities on the steeps. Another two peaks for my afternoon start and after sunset on top grids. Trails much "faster" now than any other time of year. |
