Mount Cannon

Trail: Kinsman Ridge Trail

Conditions: Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular

“First quarter mile is a mix of snow/ice/bare ground. Rest of the trail is firm with mostly old snow and some icy spots in the usual sections. I had no issues up and down in microspikes. Ice was 95% easy to bite into and the one or two spots that had hard ice could be navigated easily with care.”

Conditions: Ice - Blue, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular

“Winter-like conditions. Except for a few bare rocks near the trailhead, the trail was solid & stable snow with some ice in places. I wore Hillsound Trail Crampons. Really nice conditions allowed for a quick hike. Nice views too!”

Conditions: Wet Trail, Ice - Blue, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Stable)

“Good trail conditions today as trail conditions go for this peak. I wore crampons for this afternoon hike expecting icy spots and I ran into many ice flows. I saw other hikers in microspikes and they seemed to manage, but I was happy for the extra grip. There were a few barespots here and there but most of the trail was stable hardpack with some slushiness down below. The last stretch along the peak was very high, stable monorail and a bit arduous. It should be interesting when it begins to collapse. It was nice chatting with Mary Beth and Simon. Good to grid this one out.”
