| Comments: |
Zealand Road plowed for about 1.2 miles, but plowed road was skiable (but a little scratchy). One combined snowshoe/ski track from end of plowing all the way in to Zealand Pond. Skiing was good; good cover and snow conditions. Beaten path from there up to Zealand Hut (on Twinway). Hut was the goal for the day. |
