Discussion:
-18 in the lot this morning at 9 and a brisk wind. Took moose connector to moose south to access middle Tom snows heading south to mountain rd. Thin icy base off the grooming but decent enough (AT gear for float). The drainages at the north end were frozen and well covered for easy skiing. Boot packed up the steep hill. Some dirty bits awaiting brave descenders. The rest was fine. Even some folks on skinny skis taking advantage. The group I passed may have lost a single skin ski skin (glue on) in the west meadow. Left it at the warming hut. Went up the mountain rd extension to the start of the steeper hill on the way to Tom snow south, but didn’t bother with it given the thin base. Some additional meadows were wandered in, just for the sunny twiggyness. Warm in west meadow on return and some icing. About -3 back at the car about 2. No merch shopping availability on the last shopping day. Next time.
Tom snow, heading towards the short steep bit south of moose.
The skin, lower left. And lots of keys, like some strange 70’s party.

I thought that might have been your tracks that I saw today! Were you scouting for a WBC couch location?

No couch hunting. Plenty of good picnic tables and a couple favourite logs around. Besides, they’d melt too rapidly in the sunny spots. Sorry I missed all you guys. Shoulda gone moose hunting with the XC gear.
