Even with Steve Riggs’ secondary camera, his photos are spectacular. Yesterday, on the Birdwood Circuit, he captured the rare sighting of mountain goats. Steve posted 27 photos with his trip report, and every photo is amazing. I’m always fascinated by mountain goats’ ability to survive at high elevations with the…
Chuck captured some amazing photos on his Mosquito Creek ski trip today. The avalanche is spectacular, but the wolverine tracks are also very interesting. Most animal tracks would not be identifiable after being snowed upon but the three-print diagonal of a wolverine is unmistakeable even after it is a few…
Update Mar 8 at 9 pm: “RIO IS HOME!!!!!!! Tonight 2 people found her while heading down Sugar Momma, after sunset! She came up to them and the dogs! She ate lots of treats, and just got dropped off here at home. She is exhausted (me too!) Thank you Alex…
There are some non-skier tracks we enjoy seeing on the ski trail. I know the ski tracks were made by Rory, but he was wondering which animal made the other tracks on Rolly Road in PLPP. Rory didn’t see imprints of toenails. Thanks for all the trip reports and photos….
Thanks to Ray Yong for his Trip Report and photos. I’m posting only a portion of it, but I encourage you to go to the brand new Feb Trip Reports page and read it in its entirety, along with all the others. “I love being out on the trails early…

The moose photos from Ray Yong’s trip report reminded me that it’s time to post the animal photos which we’ve collected over the years. Ray encountered the above moose on Wheeler and remarked, “On Wheeler, had a somewhat one-sided discussion with a couple of moose about respecting the tracksetting. Not…
Jan 22, 2021: The powerful winds of the past few days have deposited significant tree debris on most of the trails in the empire, but I see we have a lot of determined skiers around here, willing to face the needlemania. I’m amazed at the number of trip reports we…
I was hoping Chuck would take the cue from MAAD and check out the elk bones in Cascade Valley. What a great thing to see, and it makes me happy to know the wolf pack is out there and getting enough to eat. It looks very fresh with bits of…
We have a problem on our hands: Where to ski tomorrow with so many possibilities? I expect the choices will only increase and I will update this post as the evening wears on and I receive more reports. Chuck skied right out his door this morning, through the woods where…
