Stinson Mountain

Trail: Stinson Mountain Trail

Conditions: Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Postholes

“Logging road is a tody way up and down. The trail was trickier, very narrow compacted area with post holes aplenty. We barebooted, and didnt slip on aurface but would have preferred snowshoes to not fall in. running water at the bottom of some post holes made it less fun. a couple red squirrels, enjoying looking out for the fantastic woodpeckered-trees, and see how many you can find!”

Trail: Stinson Mountain Trail

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder, Snow - Wet/Sticky, Snow/Ice - Postholes

“Picked up another inch or two of snow Friday morning and temperatures never ended up warming much, so the work week ended up being a net gain in snowpack. Apart from the snowmobile portion, the trail was VERY soft this afternoon. Someone slid down the trail today, and particularly on the upper half of the trail, whenever they walked, they installed gonad-deep postholes. There is a lot of snow up here and it hasn't consolidated yet, so if you insist on hiking in Microspikes instead of snowshoes, use the groomed snowmobile trail. Misty afternoon with temperatures around freezing.”

“After a super fun morning at Tenney Mountain Resort, I headed to Stinson with the splitboard. I have splitboarded/snowboarded here several times in the past and this was the best of the best in terms of conditions. Lots of snowmobiles on the snowmo trail, so visibility is a must. Everyone Friendly. Snowmobiles made the trail well-groomed, like a ski trail. Quick descent until hiking trail. To speed-check, I used the edge of trail, pulling a lot of snow into the trail. LOts of barebooters/microspikers on the hiking trail and they did sink a bit, but, I filled in a lot with the old snowboard. Super fun!!!!”
