 | Comments: |
Someone barefooted when the trail was warm so some caution needed but for the most part the trail is well packed. We used snowshoes for the televators but our son used microspikes. No post holing today. Glades are hard packed so no one skiing them, and they won't be without a lot more snow. A small section of the the Kinsman Ridge Trail (below the view bench) is not broken out. The broken out trail puts you on the ski slope. No big deal, just a few extra steps. All microspiked down for a very fast descent. No winds on top and the sun came out. Great day out with Steve, and especially when our son joins us.
