Hey Jed, I didn't know if no one was on line or if there wasn't anything to say, we need snow. I was going to ski the gasline from upper omalley on tuesday but it was too hard and crunchy for me.

skied out from the Tincan lot to Ingram Creek connecting to the Iditarod trail. Nice tour broke trail the whole way, four to six inches of fresh powder. South Ingram crossing is in good shape, should make a great tour from batrooms at mile 68 along the iditarod trail to the mile 72.5.

Despite the slides on the mountains, the valleys in Hatcher Pass are great right now for touring. Spent Sunday and Monday in the Gold Mint valley and had a blast.

This is my first post here. I tried signing up for the old forum in the last two years, but never made 'the cut'.
