Lonesome Lake Tr to Fishin' Jimmy to Kinsman Ridge to N & S Kinsman.
Trail conditions: excellent. The snow pack is still impressive! All trails were well consolidated. I used stabilicers all the way up for traction on the refrozen surface. By the afternoon, with temps in the 50's (!) snowshoes were required to prevent postholing. Blowdowns weren't a problem. From the steep sections of Fishin' Jimmy to the summits, a lot of branch-whacking was necessary, since the snow is still 4-5' deep.
Equipment: Traction very helpful, snowshoes necessary. Sunscreen.
A gorgeous day with nearly unlimited visibility. Stunning views.
