Decided to ski out of P16 today and had a nice glide out to Healy and Herridge. No fresh grooming but none expected. Only one other car in the lot when I arrived but there were a few people who had skied this way earlier than I and they set a nice track. The first climb was still covered with yesterdays snow but it was starting to fade by the time I got back - might be gravel by now that the rain has started. Once in the trees though the snow was plenty deep and apart from a couple of branches to slide across I found no rocks to speak of. Crossed a litle stream that had cut a narrow perpendicular crevasse across the trail and the snow looked to me to be about 12-16" deep (photo).

The fresh snow wasn't too quick but it was still a pleasant day out in the woods and I had the trail all to myself. Never found the owner of the other car and the ski tracks went no farther than Herridge before returning so they must have gone down to Meech and along 36 while I was out. Also noticed the feeders have been removed now so no more buffet for the birds and squirrels. Considering its mid April and excellent outing on the boards.
