 | Comments: |
Lower portions on private property had small ice patches and bare trail with trace amounts of snow. Upon entering the National Forest land the trail was more consolidated with several ice flows which were easily walked around. Upper portions had between trace and 1 inch of snow yesterday with a solid base. The usual icy spots on the Kinsman Ridge trail were easily navigated with light traction. Great time out with Michele and Kit before the storm. |
