 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
You can still drive over a little snow hump into to the trailhead lot, but the ski resort is clearly trying to block that up with any snow they get. Still, the added walk is too minor to matter. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is buried under snow. I like looks like it probably has some serious erosion issues in other seasons, but packed snow made it a non-issue |

Perfect time to nab Cannon via the Kinsman Ridge Trail. There’s packed snow from parking lot to the summit, with just a few icy slabs. Hillsounds were perfect. Kathoolas would work. No balling of snow. No need for snow shoes unless there is another storm between this post and your trip. It was a straightforward walk to the summit and an easy trot down. |
