Some photos of my Christmas Eve trek to Cannon are at my BLOG.
With a snow depth of generally less than 6 inches, snowshoes were unnecessary. However, there were icy conditions underlying the light snow cover. I used Kahtoola KTS crampons for the entire hike (from trailhead to summit) and had no problems whatsoever with slippage on either the ascent or descent. There were no blowdowns along the route.
Una_Dogger: Sabrina, I don't know how we missed running into each other. When I was at the "Overlook" viewpoint I thought I heard voices on the main trail. That must have been you guys?!
