 | Comments: |
There was slushy snow in the morning skiing up the Lincoln Woods trail, and I bare booted the Bondcliff trail after leaving my skis. Some in our group used microspikes until we needed to put on snowshoes as the snow turned to fresh powder from Saturday's storm. We were packing down the trail from that point on until we saw Nate W and his group on top of Mount Bond. We followed their tracks to the summit of West Bond. It was a cloudy but warm day up there. The winds picked up as we crossed back over to Bondcliff, they may have been about 60 mph. Three of our group enjoyed the ski out on the Lincoln Woods trail, the snow had gotten harder but hadn't iced over. There are a couple of blowdowns and logs across the trail that we did have to navigate at times. |
