Spring Snow Run at the Ahtanum
Saturday April 19th, 2008
On April 19th, 2008 we meet up at the Nasty Creek Corals and aired down.
We started by running up Doe Pocket. It wasn't to far up we ran into patches of snow.
Here we regrouped after the first snow area.
Right after that first area we started running into some soft snow and more of it.
Another time to regroup.
On up the trail Icesis found a real soft spot.

Themiddlekid decided it was time to turn his Dakota around so Fatboy escorted him down a ways. We then pressed on.
As we turned up Jackass road we regrouped again.
On up at Ewe Neck we had some problems getting trough the North Slope. Icesis and LayemStr8 made it through first.
