We have been preparing for one of our spring bear backpack hunts. Last week we had about 4 miles of snow to travel before dropping down into our hunting grounds. It has been melting fast and we are now down to about 2 miles of snow with quite a bit of dry ground which is hard on the skis. That being said the bigger drifts that were such a problem before (rolled the sled a few times!) have now become much more tame.
