last time i skin all the way up millcreek to "get more miles in". it would have been a 30min skin from mill d. instead i did 4hrs of breaking trail.. basically from alexander basin all the way to dog lake. tirin
g. skied the dead top of the ridge that separates big water gultch and soldier fork. then dropped into soldier fork to come out at big water. it was a high avy day so i stayed in trees and on ridges, never felt unsafe. 2 feet of blower on top, but the threat is that persistent surface hoar 3-5' deep.. if that rips everything goes.
