Wore Hillsounds car to car, snowshoes went for a ride. Zealand Road was pleasantly in good condition! A few inches of fresh snow over packed snow. Some boot tracks before me. Hale Brook Trail was also in good condition, with some fresh powder over packed snow, and enough boot tracks ahead of me that packed down the new snow. A few bare areas with rocks and standing water. The side sloping was in good shape too, with some packed down tracks from those ahead of me. Great conditions for this route just now! |
