| Comments: |
The trails are solidly packed, and we wore microspikes for most of the morning to the ridge. The Kinsman Ridge trail had many snow drifts, but consisting of soft,fluffy snow, so no real trail-breaking was needed. A great day in the Whites with clear blue skies and mild temperatures. |
