Comments
Comments: Light trailbreaking on snowshoes out and back - 2-6" of powder on existing footbed. Upwards of a foot of powder up high on top of a frozen granular base. In total, about a foot of snow down low and 2-3 feet up high. Kilkenny Ridge Trail above cabin was drifted and hard to follow, as usual. No signs of any tracks continuing to The Bulge.
