Best Hiking Window
If conditions must be hiked, Sunday offers the mildest window of the immediate period before Monday's more extreme cold arrives, with roughly 11 hours of daylight. An early morning start on Sunday is recommended to maximize daylight and allow a comfortable descent before temperatures drop further. Tuesday shows a potential warming trend with a high of 31°F, making it the more favorable option if the trip can be delayed — though snow is forecast that day as well.
Trail: Zealand Road, Sugarloaf Trail
Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Drifts
“Trail was in good shape to middle sugarloaf. Ladder was a challenge to descend with snowshoes on. Nothing it just not enough room to feel confident going down. Ascending it was fine. I broke trail to north so just one set of snowshoes that way since storm.”
Trail: Nash Stream Road, Sugarloaf Trail
Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder
“Parked at the gate on Nash Stream Rd, just past Amos Emery Rd. It was plowed out by a grader but I definitely got the vibe it wasn't done for hikers. The rd is plowed for logging trucks, several of which passed me on my way back to the car on day 2 but none on day 1. 8 miles with microspikes on a plowed rd to the base of Sugarloaf. Snowmobiles could be heard (and smelled) most of the way. A snowmobiler had ridden most of the way up Sugarloaf within the last week so the going wasn't too difficult, but snowshoes are still a must. Good view from the top.”
Trail: Elwell Trail, Goose Pond Trail, Goose Pond Loop, Red Trail
Conditions: Ice - Black, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular
“Terrific afternoon and views. Woods were gorgeous. You *could* bareboot but a few spots are treacherous due to ice floes hidden under 3" of fresh pow.”
