Run to the highway (drove back, Libby drove down).

Libby's 1st ski of the season. We extended my tracks on the upper/lower Sourdough from yesterday. But it was clear and warm and on our return the sunlit areas were getting soft and mushy.

Brainard Rd. on Sourdough trail. Trail broken from yesterday to 1/2 way between Little Raven and the saddle. I broke new trail to the saddle, down the other side, and up the first climb, about half way from the knoll to the cut off to the glades.

Finally got some snow. Went up Lefthand Res Rd. to the "one planet" bridge, and then investigated both ends of the Sourdough trails. There were from 4 to 24 inches of very nice powder. But it may have melted down a bit. The Mt. Research station end was better than marginal, but only by a small margin. The Brainard Rd. end was fine.

The construction work for the new parking lot and fee kiosk is making winter parking very problematical. But I guess they are still working, I saw activity when I got back to my car at 9:AM. I also met the plow as I was leaving.
