At least she had a map. I'm betting most that get lost don't

Problem was that while she kept going left at Coopers Cabin, she didn't go far left enough. If she did she would have found the goods.

DMV always patrols Wheelerville Rd and picks up skiers coming out of the glades to bring them back to K1. Most of the time they'll have a craft beer with you for the ride. Did you know there's a park in the Wheelerville glades with over 50 features

[RustyK]

I told her not to ski past Coopers......Geez

[Mister Moose]

I still say there should be a big 4 foot sign up there consisting of enlarged newspaper articles of people getting lost and requiring rescue. "This is you in 5 hours... they didn't think so either."
