 | Comments: |
Zealand Road was plowed almost down to the gravel. Zealand trail was hardpacked all the way to the hut by lots of snowshoers and skiers. Twinway to Zeacliff was well consolidated with a light dusting of powder. Beyond there to Zealand it was pretty drifted in spots but the basic treadway was usually pretty firm. With all of today's traffic, it should be good for a little while. Either barebooted or used microspikes all the way to Zealand. Switched to snowshoes for the decent to the hut and switched back to spikes. |
