Winter on Gap Mountain?


[Post by Gap Mountain Land Steward Hiel Lindquist]

The first day of winter on Gap Mountain was quite warm. Hard to believe we had over 4 feet of snow this season already as there is no snow left anywhere on the 22 day of December. It was almost tee shirt weather for the hike up the south trail. Nice veiws off the summit today and with the low clouds and falling temperatures, maybe there will be some snow in the near future?


 Until then, I want to wish everyone at the Forest Society and all the Land Stewards a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!

There is not much left of the old ski tow building and equipment. Easily visable just off the south trail (look for a T on a pine tree near the first steep section) (Photo: H.Lindquist)
