The woods are lovely, dark and deep...

There's still plenty untracked, I still wasn't seeing tracks/having blower flying up to my chest at 3:45 not far from a trail (still in view of my daughter on a trail)...get it if you can!

Don’t leave your flesh out on trail for the wolves. Bring her into the woods with you.

Woods mostly good from the Dark to South Ridge. Still snow snakes around so stay light on the feet.

Actually got to hit the Dunks for the first time this year.

I didn't get into some of the Woods real low elevation by Skyeship but probably doable.

Bear woods pretty good as well. Time to go exploring as most of the regular spots are tracked. Today would be perfect for Hibernator.

BTW I went BRH, a lot of snow, the interconnect wasn't groomed so we went on an adventure.

I doubt many wolves could catch that speed demon! Besides, it has got to be more dangerous to follow me into the woods...

Blasted thru a wind drifted ridge in Catwalk trees only to uncover a snag. Like sex without a condom, it’s worth it almost all the time.

How about for the weekend, will the snow stay in the trees and stay open? Is the unmarked all tracked out? Will the snow stay soft and powdery?

Nope it will all be packed out stiff junk with roots and rocks poking out due to skier traffic since there was almost no base. Probably a few shots to be had still but the hounds got most all of it already.

Amazing that anyone [eg GSKI] would even respond to this.
