Backcountry Nordic Skiing – Zimmerman Lake to Meadows Trail

We will leave a car at the Meadows trailhead and begin the ski from the Zimmerman Lake trailhead. We will ski up to the lake on an old logging road. Although I have done this without skins, it is much easier and requires much less energy to use at least kicker skins. At the lake we will ski a very nice trail that goes around the lake. We will then continue the trip by skiing down the Meadows trail. Depending on snow conditions, we will ski some nice downhill runs. If there hasn't been some recent fresh snow, sections of the trail can be icy. We will continue down the trail and before we cross Long Draw Road, there are some nice powder runs we can ski if we/you want. We will then continue down the trail, crossing Long Draw Road and continuing to the Meadows trailhead.

We will probably meet at the Pringle's parking lot on the NW corner of Taft and Drake. Meeting time will probably be around 7am. The trip will require a shuttle.
