Make up your own caption :D

You may be able to see the bullet holes in the sign, these are apparently DOT required in Idaho once off pavement, as more signs have them then don't.

Best (fastest) snowcat ever! You just needed a snowboarding picture to make it complete.

If IFR means "I Follow Roads", then I guess ILS means "I Land on Snow"? #-o

Somewhere west of the Blackfoot Reservior about 40 miles or so from my place. A lot of that snow is still there!

Re: one of my favorites ski shots this winter

The great thing that day was the snow: looking at it now, it looks a little spooky to me, (the side slope, and ruts) but it was "just right", plenty soft, but not rotten. Skiers abd ski pilots will know what I mean....snowmachiners too. I still have plenty of snow left, but now it is all above my place 500' or so, and there be top landings, at 8500', for another month or two, a really great snow year! All the irrigators are happy too, it'll be good farming, good hydro power for the utilities also.
