Comments: couldn't resist the first significant snow at elevation. barely enough snow to ski, if you drive to elevation ~6000'.  traded the subaru this summer for this:


can now get to & back from many more places, like today. wouldn't do this without 4wd. first trip out with new rig. did not get stuck! yipee

hiked a few miles up meadow fork trail, probably too steep to ski.

skied down & up the 039:



scouted big creek trail, looks more promising with another inch or 2.

scouted 1648/1649 up to 125: 6800'


plenty of snow on these roads & 101 back to county 62/ huddleston. until grooming begins, tire tracks work.
