Activity
Snowmobiling

We rode up Portal Creek today to check motorized boundaries.  Riding in the meadows and trees in the basin's north of Golden Trout lakes was decent and not caught any wind.  All of the ridge tops appeared to be heavily scoured or wind loaded, depending on aspect and we noted several small wind slabs on the N-NE ridge tops directly above the lake.  They appeared partially filled in so we're likely from a few days ago.  We did not see any recent tracks climbing much above tree line, likely since everything had been so wind affected higher up.
