Breccia Mt Tour

Breccia Mountain

     With low Avi conditions, I figured a tour up Breccia Mt and into French Spy Bowl might be fun.  So did half of Lander and Fremont County... Wow!  I couldn't believe the trail going in there.  Been a while, since I'd been in there.  It's been getting some traffic.  Along with low Avi conditions, often comes a low supply of powder.  Everything that we could see in FSB had been turned to cement by the wind.  You could make out chicken stratch tracks by folks that dropped in yesterday... survival schralpin' at best.  We opted to bail on FSB and skied our to the south side, looking for softer snow.  We found a little.  Even if the pow wasn't what I'd been getting, it still turned out to be a beautiful and a fun tour.  Definitely warmer... it was well into the twenties up there.  Back in Lander it was 5 degrees.  Good to get out!  Have a look at the video TR...

Shad, happy to be in the back country above FSB again.

The best pow we could find.  

Weehoo!

Good stuff, it'd suffice anyway!
