 | Comments: |
Zealand Road is plowed. The lower part is not great for skiing but the sides are OK further up. Middle is mixed with gravel. Hale Brook Trail in good shape. A light dusting of new snow. Some bare booters I passed on my way down were making a mess. No post holes, just messing up the trail. I used snowshoes there and back. Televators great on the way up. Bare booted the road. |
