Lots of Powder!
 
My dad and I went on a little Saturday morning snowshoe trip on Skate Creek Road (FS#52). There was a couple feet of snow at 2500 feet, and several inches of fresh powder. This road is gated and a popular destination for snowmobiles, and their tracks from the days before had consolidated the snow. Lucky for us, we got up earlier than the snowmobilers and actually didn't see (or HEAR) any.
