Bottomless Powder
I'm calling it the best day of the year! Others call it "epic"; "bottomless"; "today was as good as it gets"; and "DEEP!" Turnagain Pass received about 30"+ of loose, low density, bottomless, unconsolidated snow last Sunday/Monday.
Today we reaped the benefits of that storm by setting the skin track and breaking trail with JD and B-real.
-15F at the truck, we made quick time, little stops and hammered it out until we got into the sun. And a lot of folks gave thanks! I actually had one guy say "we should have to pay a toll".
This was your toll: First Tracks!
The sock monkey gave me good luck on a phenomenal day. But he didn't keep my feet warm. I returned to the truck walking on two blocks of east coast ice. Riding the "Mattawatts".
I've got two weeks break to help a friend a build a cabin, and drill. Gotta love it!
