 | Comments: |
Several inches of snow on Zealand Road but by the time I descended it had condensed down to just a couple with bare spots here and there. 4-6 inches of sticky snow at the the trailhead. Above 3000 feet there was 12-18 inches of light, fluffy snow. Snow was almost knee deep in places. I hiked this solo and only saw one other person on skis so currently the trail is just lightly broken. |
