Great trip. We skied in the ski trail to Zealand hut, which is in excellent shape with 3-4' snow, well-traveled packed powder, 3/23 AM. Zealand falls hut was great. After skiing in, put on hiking boots and snowshoes to hike the Twinway toward Zealand Mtn. Trail had 1' fresh snow, so slow going, and we stopped at Zeacliff overlook, which was impressive. Low temp 3/24 AM was -13°F. Bagged Hale on Lend-a-Hand trail, which was well-packed and easy. Came back to hut, packed up, and skied out the Zealand Trail. |
