Rating (1-10; 10 awesome): 9.5 (-.5 for skiing on frozen cat tracks)
Comments: plowed 3925 makes for easy ski to dry soda lookout, giving one of the best views of whole south side of strawberry mtn. range & south into bear valley & seneca.
cat tracks were wide, frozen ridges, a little too fast on descent, stayed on deeper shoulder powder on return trip.
looks like they are preparing these roads for logging this winter. there is a lot of burned trees along this road.
noticed the 196 from 395 is also plowed going east. not sure if it will be complete from both directions.
