Comments
Comments: Hale Brook was well packed down but with a dusting at higher elevation.

Lend-a-Hand and Twinway had various amounts of new, heavy snow - up to 8". Trails completely drifted over in some areas.

Zealand Road was wet and sticky in the morning and slushy in the afternoon. Snowshoes all the way is the way to go - even on the road.

Georg and I had contemplated continuing across the Bonds to Lincoln Woods. However, the heavy travel conditions took its toll and we returned after reaching Zealand Mtn. Twinway beyond the Zealand Mtn. Spur is not broken out.
