Great day for the Kinsmans and a bonus for Bald Peak as always. Some ice flows are tricky but for the most part, the trails are easy to travel in your choice of traction. Spikes down low are sufficient and you can choose snowshoes on the ridge however, I stayed in Hillsounds and was fine. You only post hole if you step off trial. Low winds today made this a blue bird day. Great to meet so many people today and share some laughs and smiles. |
