"I've been everywhere man....."

Sometimes the weather aligns just right in the spring to go sledding into places that are normally too steep, too avalanche prone, and too gnarly to get into unless there is good visibility and firm snow. Last weekend the sledding stars aligned just right for a 60 mile trek deep into the Snake River Range south of town into the "Pallisades" area.

We stopped for lunch on top of Indian Peak and admired what would be "the sweetest ski area in America"....., if only there were lifts!

And then topped out at the headwaters of Wolf Creek with the Greys River, Star Vallley, Alpine, WY, and Fairy Peak in the background.

With the warm up this week and last week, riding from trailheads from the valley floor is going to be tough as there is starting to be more dirt than snow down low. Up high there is still a 100" base.
