 | Comments: |
Snowshoes car to car. Fairly consolidated to Bald Knob Spur..Trail broken out to the ridge..soft in spots..lots of fairly deep powder and some good drifting approaching the ridge. KInsman Ridge Trail more consolidated and easy going with all ledges snowramped in and good footing. Summit boulder on North is missing. Some drifting heading over to South but good corridor.. Final push along the ridge heavily drifted and the trail not obvious in the flat light and low visibility we encountered today. No VFTT but good day out with maybe 10 mph winds max in a couple of spots and somewhat moderate temps |
