Comments
Comments: light snow throughout the day...Mount Kinsman Trail has long stretches of ice interspersed with light snow cover to Bald Knob Jct. spikes adequate with care.. above there to the ridge still lots of ice but more snow surface and pretty good going with care.


kinsman ridge trail had pretty good snowpack throughout with a few icy areas..easy going..while we used spikes all day some may be more comfortable with more traction on some of the ice flow areas..we saw where others had fallen more than once..

great day out with tim, val, larisa, and toby the 100 4k peakbagger pup
