 | Comments: |
Hut to Zealand summit had 2 snowshoe passes today and 1 set of snowshoe tracks observed going south towards Guyot from summit. I would consider from West Bond summit north to Zeacliff NOT broken out due to constant windblown snow drifts & lack of hikers observed in this section to make a solid trench. Snow is light & lots still in trees. Good luck. Zealand hut caretakers doing a great job over there. Worth it to stop in if you have time. |
