Beaver

We didn’t make it to the burnt area we hoped to ride… lots of blowdown and tree-bombs which have turned to crust in the forest. We were able to look across a ravine at the face we wanted to ride and it looked almost filled in and like pretty good snow. The snow was soft in the open, burnt trees that we skinned through. If you follow our skin track from the parking lot be warned… it goes nowhere but a nice view! We figured out that it would have been better to skin along the highway north until the bridge and cross the creek from there. At that point it would have just been a short bushwhack to an open burn which we could have skinned up and hopefully gotten some turns.
