Toured up the pipeline and along zoa ridge. The alder trail up to the pipeline is almost passable with only a slight detour through the forest. Pipeline is filling in nicely. Zoa trees have a nicely set skin track up, lots of traffic. When up on the ridge you can see signs of windloading on northerly aspects. Calm wind, overcast skis, cooler Temps made for an enjoyable day out. Fresh snow from previous storm cycle was still hanging on the trees.
