Planning to hike up to a 172m summit north of Capreol climb the old fire tower then come down via teles, boards or skis to the bottom. The snow is packed base with a nice powder top coat so essentially what you see is what you get!  |

Couch Potatoes,
Excellent day, three eggs, bacon, ham and sausage from M&R's in the Cape to fuel the human engines!
Cold early morning start but nothing like a straight up the hill to warm things up and soon zips are opened, clothes are shed and carry on.
Having Gerry with you is always priceless for a great laugh.
We had light snow with reduced vision at the top yet worth the effort.
Compared to last weekend the ride out was super fast and forced you to be on your toes looking for any patch of powder to slow you down from the verge of an uncontrolled crash into the rhubarb!

Been up a few more times and will return Saturday Feb 7th.
Trail up is hard packed and takes just under an hour to reach the tower summit. You can walk, skin or snowshoe at will.
If your dog/dogs are tougher than Mecke's they will have fun as well.
We have started to find some good open areas for turns so skis and boards will be the tools of choice...
