| Comments: |
Minimal snow with icy crust from parking to about junction with original trail. Snow depth increases with elevation. About 6" of new snow on top of breakable crust probably due to previous rain. Kinnsman Ridge trail well packed out with new snow on top. Good day out with Hiker Ed. Nice ice formations in trees near South Peak. |
