Hi my friends & ennemy.

Lake road was very hard snow with a trace of new snow, all the trail from the road to Colvin summit, perfect snowshoes tracks with one inch of new powder, thank You TMax group, ;) between Colvin & Blake 3" with acouple place around 5" where the wind made a better job!!!

Same condition from the Colvin-Nippletop junction to the Nippletop-Dial junction. All the trail between Nippletop to Dial 3" to 6" in perfect old snowshoes tracks, thank You groups of 22 december.

Gradualy decresing snow to the Dial Bear den col.

At this place surprise!!! :confused: the snowshoes tracks turn do not in wright but in left side. OK We think the groups take the decision to by pass the Bear den and few time after by pass also the Noonmark shoulder. But the tracks go down and down. :eek:

When We earing the brook We saw the 24 december group ( 3 peoples) was trapping by the hight water level. :mad: They need to stay in the East side of the brook in unconsolidated snow with a bad croust over, all the time before the small bridge ( Square Log) few time before the real bridge in the Lake road.

It was a bad thing to stay in this nice snowshoes tracks We paid before We be able to cross the brook and also it is illegal to bush hike in the Ausable property!!! :confused:

All the day was very confortable with few wind half time sunny half time cloudy. :cool:

P.S. If You go up in Dial direction take care to turn left in the Bear den-Colvin col. If You come from Nippletop stay in the usual way You won't save time and energy if You go down by the wright side. ;)

Merry Chrismas everybody for few more hours. :D

You're welcome :D :D . So what was your time? 38 minutes? ;) I had to laugh - a couple of months ago when I did Colvin/Blake, I noticed when I was signing out at the register that you had signed in an hour after me, did Sawteeth, Gothics, Armstrong, Upper WJ, and Lower WJ and signed out an hour before me. I know PinPin is created to move like that, but Alain, what are you made of ;) :D ?
 
Fast rabbit....

Hi TMax, :)

A couple of time Junior is faster of his shadow...it is not easy for me to stay with him!!!! :D

But fortunately for me He always take the time to check the nice people (specialy the woman ;) ). Everybody know the real rabbit's nature... :rolleyes:

I hope to see You in the wood.

P.S. I will be out of ADK for 2 days :( , I will need to work (Yes it is not a joke I real work today and tomorrow) But I come back sone
 
Tmax and our group ran into the bunch doing Dial and Nippletop on the Lake road on the way back, I didn't ask anything other than if they succesfully did the two and they said yes and they said they went around Bear Den...

I'm glad to have repaid the favor of breaking a trail for you PinPin. :)
