Lonesome Lake trail is in great shape, we encountered new snow on Fishing Jimmy with deep drifts and trail breaking was tough, also between North K and South K were giant waves of snow, heading up Kinsman Ridge to Cannon from the Hut was snow over treacherous ice in one spot that we had to scramble up holding on to trees, coming down Kinsman ridge to tram parking was in great shape also. Bike Path was fine for snow shoes-we saw 3 people all day-the caretaker-a man heading up Cannon and a CC skier on bike path. Socked in summits but gorgeous snowy scenes and warmer temps made for a lovely adventure. Great day out with Rachel Ball. I checked off 572 573 574 for my first NH grid ! Rain for the next few days may change Everything :(
