I'm considering doing Hale as part of a Bonds - Zealand - Hale Traverse (maybe Sunday or Monday) so am looking at the Lend-A-hand and Hale Brook trails, but most of what I've seen posted for Hale in the Winter is up from the West on the Fire Wardens trail. Do the Lend-a-Hand and Hale Brook get much winter traffic? I don’t mind breaking a bit of new snow on a broken-out trail but if they don’t get much traffic I may pass on Hale. I would think with the Z hut open that they would get usage but haven’t seen many posts. Actually, as I type this, I'm thinking that rather than go down Z road that maybe I should end on the west side of Hale. But that kind of ties into another question I posted earlier about taxi service
