Galehead Mountain, South Twin Mountain via Beaver Loop, Gale River Loop Road, Gale River Trail, Frost Trail, Twinway
Date of Hike: Saturday, January 10, 2009
Trail Conditions: Packed powder
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes
Comments:
Beaver Brook parking area plowed. Followed counterclockwise loop (signed for Gale River Trail) to Gale River Road - well packed. Gale River Road well packed by snowmobiles.
Gale River Trail was broken out by a group ahead of us - thank you! Both water crossings are fully and fairly solidly ice bridged.
We met up with them on the Frost Trail and broke the rest of the way to Galehead - about 6-8" of fresh powder on top of the frozen granular base.
We then broke out Twinway to South Twin - 3-12" or so of fresh powder.
All of said trails are now well packed for snowshoeing.
We removed a few blowdowns, though a few still remain (nothing tough to get over/under).
