We left Upper Works parking area Saturday 2/16 about 1PM. It was sunny and very nice temps, 20 ish . Skiied across Henderson Lake ; snow was great good consolidation breaking trail very easy , but there were a couple of parties ahead of us so the trail was good. We used sleds to haul our gear, and were at the new lean-to by 2:30 .We ate lunch then skiied around the lake and got back to the Lean -to about 5:15. We had company about 6:45;A.J. and Tim from the Albany area, they were snow- shoeing. ( sorry I forgot to leave address at register guys, hope you see this and contact me)
Sunday AM was - 12 F; not bad, no wind and sunny. We skiied to Preston Ponds, snow was fast, hard , not much kick, we wished we had skins. We ran out of sun real fast, warm front was coming in . Preston Ponds were beautiful , clouds were really wild. We had lunch on Lower Preston Pond and then headed back and that 's when it started to spit ice balls at us , but it didn't last long. We skiied back to the lean-to and it started freezing rain around 5 PM. It rained off and on all night but stopped after breakfast Monday , and we had an easy ski back to the car. This is a beautiful area, really worth exploring and the trip all the way to Duck Hole is really great . Mike D.
