Kinsman Ridge Trail conditions question

[peakbagger-paul]

Has anyone been up (or down) the Kinsman Ridge Trail between the Cannon Mtn Ski Area and the summit of Cannon recently? I'm headed there tomorrow and wondering whether I can get away with microspikes or will have to carry my snowshoes. Thanks.

Do you mean from Cannon to North Kinsman or parking to the summit ?
I'd just bring mud boots and spikes. Not even spikes if it's parking to summit.

My shins are still hurting from postholing with snowshoes down from North Kinsman two weeks ago.

I meant from the parking lot to the summit of Cannon and back.
