21.5mi day, excellent day on the trails. Followed some trashy postholing that was mild on the ascent of N Twin, once at elevation someone postholed the heck out of the trail all the way to where it cuts off to Zealand, 6-8" deep..must have sore shins today with that 2" crust layer on top from the recent storm. The trails are super fast with snowshoes, Hillsounds worked until about halfway up North Twin then the Tubbs stayed on my feet until back at the road walk to the motel.
Saw two folks going out to W Bond as I made the return trek, then a father and son out on the Pemi. Other than that quiet day on the trails - not a drop of wind out on West Bond, remarkably low wind everywhere given the exposure.
The snow is in great condition to cover ground quickly - I would still recommend snowshoes just to get this last storm and the overnight fluff packed down.
From where the AT cuts to Zealand, the Bondcliff trail was 6-10" of powder, 4-6" for West Bond but those peaks both saw traffic from Lincoln Woods today too - Enjoy the trails! |
