    Just curious, why boot pack it? Why not run a ct up there? Too steep? Winching not an option? BTW nice work patrol.

    My guess is that with snow that light and dry, the cat would just end up ripping right throw it into the bare earth.

    more like a necessary waste of pow is you want it to be skiable anytime soon. We used to boot pack intermediate trails out west during our lift rotations before the big snows hit. It really does make a difference.

    + 1. Plus Spillsville is too narrow and steep to be easily groomed, with or without a winchcat.
