On Friday night, I was bummed out when I stopped at the I-89 rest area just north of Exit 4 and found that a Death Crust had formed on the <BR>surface. But, the following morning, the good news was that MRG remained unscathed. The crust apparently only got as far North as Granville Gulf. The bad news was that the PD wanted me to assist with some Senior OEC training that was going on. I barely kept from puking. But I did get to do a trail check and did so on my usual Panther route. Snow was a bit "sleety" on top with made for some fast, edgeable interesting <BR>untracked on user friendly bumps In other words, it was sweet. <BR> In the afternoon, good turns were had, woods were sweet and I tagged along for some <BR>golfing. Sweet snow and I ran into several Cult <BR>members. <BR> We had a gathering planned for après ski at the Starks Nest and I planned to skin up for it after doing sweep. I was assigned to sweep <BR>Paradise where I found great snow. <BR> Oh well, I had a nice skin up to the Starks Nest, especially with a nice tailwind from Fox/Broadway intersection to the Upper Antelope headwall. Skiing down was cool as we got some great windblown on Upper Antelope-Broadway-Bunny under squally moonlight skies.
