-What trail is this?-
This is “Guess the Trail” with skiers in every picture. Can you figure out where they are?
The previous game was fun, and I expected at least one picture to bedevil you, which it did. We’ve started a new game, but you can still go back and agonize over #8.
Posted below are the photos numbered, 1 – 14. Leave your answer in the comments. Click on the photos for a larger image. Good luck!!

All correct. I’ll take your advice on the next go around. -Bob
#4: WBC, exciting telephone loop (CCW) where it intersects with moose loop? Well, it is the junction of two trails but not those two.

Correct. -Bob
#13 the scary down hill before the bridge on Bob’s favorite
