Date of Hike: Mar. 23rd Trail Conditions: Hiked up Zealand Road. Barebooted for awhile but decided to put on snow shoes. Would have at Hale Brook Trail anyway. Hale Brook had one person up before me so packed down ok. Fun little traverse above the brook enough for 1 1/2 width snow shoe. No real...

What is happening in the mountains for snow? Was thinking of a white face/passaconaway loop or snow shoe/ski combo around Zealand. Would like the Zealand trip if the snow is flying up there like it is in SE Mass. Thanks.
