| Comments: |
Lincoln woods trail snow free but lots of muddy sections. Snow started on the Wilderness trail with some icy sections and lots of mud down low. The snow levels increased with elevation. Snow was well packed to Bondcliff. From Bondcliff across the ridge there was wind blown snow with plenty of dry rocks to step around. From the summit cone of Bond and over to West Bond we wore snowshoes. The trail was unbroken so with 9 of us on snowshoes, we have a pretty good snow shoe track started. Decent day with mild temps and no wind. |
