Trail Conditions: Zealand Road is plowed all the way to the parking lot, trail to hut was packed with some impressive blowdowns, loose snow to Zeacliff-Zealand-Guyot (some postholing but not enough snow depth to warrant snowshoes --- just some patience needed due to slower footing), Twinway to W.Bond junction saw similar conditions (loose/slow) snow underfoot), then clear sailing due to the packed out trail from the group that was in on Tuesday as well as no substantial snow south of Bond. Oh yes, the MUD! The amount of water flowing right now is substantial.
Special Equipment: microspikes and poles were helpful, the bag of Fritos that Doug brought were good too
Comments: great day on the Bonds and never saw any other hikers on the trails!
