Goat Track Becomes Skin Track?

Yesterday near Baker......Marmot drainage area. It was a bitter cold day and I noticed an unusual skin track, although the track appeared to be a desperate descent.....it also worked out well for a skin track. Thankyou Goat or whatever you might have been. It's always nice when you can poach an animal track....... there's more value in poaching the animal track than the animal itself.

Did you enter/exit via Grouse Creek? I would expect the coverage would still leave the slide alder down low quite heinous. How was the access?

I've followed goat tracks in that area before. Once I even snuck up behind a goat south of Table Mountain, and scared that poor goat silly. Apparently they're not used to how quiet skins are.

As you suggested PB......we entered via Grouse drainage and there is a bit of work but not bad.........sled was required just shy of 542. Much energy was required for this trip, but give it a week or so and things could change. I noticed the groomer had groomed the road, but without sled this is going to be quite a trip.

Cheers

I was on Heliotrope this September, and ended up following a goat track up along the western edge of the slope. It wasn't a matter of breaking trail, but I was glad to have it because there were crevasses to be avoided, and I figure that the goat would likely know where to go.
