Comments
Comments: Once again did not see a soul on the mountain. I saw the caretaker for Zealand Hut headed in and a guy in a bright blue ski suit with a husky attached to him skiing out (no I was not hallucinating). Zealand Road gets old quick. All is solid but bare booted back and forth.


Switched to micro spikes and climbed with them the whole way. Lots of drifting on the side hills tried to kick out on the way down. The incoming storm held off until I got back out to 302. Two guys had left their lights on and run their battery down. We could not jump so I gave them a ride back to store by Fabyan's to wait for a ride.
