Well known in culinary circles is that properly aged dog poop is a pleasing substitute spread for Vegemite. I hope to see all the proud owners of free-pooping dogs in the snow bank this weekend with butter knives and fancy crackers. It pairs charmingly with a good cabernet.

I get sick of seeing dog poop on trails where I skin regularly in the winter. Sometimes there's so much that it's hard to avoid at certain points on a trail, near the trailhead.

Gold Creek is brutal, having never been up that way in winter and during our trip up Alaska a few weekends ago I couldn't believe the minefield over the 1st 1/2 mile - brutal and disgusting. Sun cup dog poop, not really awesome at all.

Could be worse...

... camp at the base of Alpamayo in Peru...

... turd city and snow-for-drinking water-zone...

... at least the dogs would eat the human exhaust!

I rarely go to alp any more so not an issue for me but I happened upon this thread and cracked up at Sconey's post #2 last January. Worth repeating for the laugh: "We are going to build a wall, and the dogs are going to pay for it!" Maybe it'll happen now.

I think the poop and pee is gross. Not to mention the little kids that are trying to play in the snow. The ski patrol use to put up signage warning hikers and various idjits that they were going against the flow and to watch out for downhill traffic. I really think they need to do that again. I use to hear talk of the forest service marking a different snowshoer route up valley. Wish that would happen, at least for the first section.

So far this holiday season I've had more close calls with kids than their four-legged companions. I even watched a lady scoop her pupper's poop off the groomed cattrack on Christmas Day. Also it's been so dang cold Lot 4 is packed ice/snow, affording the ability to ski/ride back to one's vehicle from the far corner.

Sledding Droning Sloshoeing Dogging SkiMoBro Ding Dongs going to source via the skied down trail past the icefall has been rather interesting this holiday season.
the poop is buried under a cold blanket of snow, waiting to greet us again in the spring!

The new upper tier groomed trail
above the lower water tower trail
is a great relief to exiting ski traffic.
It's nice to be able and avoid the sledders, feral dogs, sloshoers, unleashed kids, first date romantics, new gear testers,
lost Franklin Falls seeking urbanites, drone flying folks
trying to negotiate their way upstream.
Thank You Summit Safety Managers!

I've decided to abandon climbing up that trail anymore. Too much traffic and I can reach enough terrain from Chair 2 and the upper gate. Too many people, too many dogs, too close to town.

You need a big gold badge with "SLDP Citizen Patrol" or something like that... with a Ranger hat. Or maybe sombrero.

Source Lake Dog Park may need a wall on the upslope side
to protect legal downhill movement from the uphill migration.

Last time I went up thattaway and over to the Snow Lake side, I was stunned/impressed to see how much it looked like we were still w/in lift-served terrain from how tracked out almost everything decent was. We scored some nice turns over on Roosevelt as the hordes we'd narrowly beaten out there were working their way up for the sloppy seconds. On the luge run out from Source Lake, I wondered how often there are head-on collisions on that stretch (even up above the exit from lift-served "backcountry" terrain). It was like playing a video game. Not my cup of white tea.

Uphill traffic was out of control yesterday. Seems the Summit is losing control of part of their downhill controlled area to non revenue occupants. Yesterday there was uphill traffic on the actual groomed ski runs where children's lessons were being held. I sure hope an unleashed dog running uphill on the down luge doesn't get severely injured from an accident involving a backcountry card carrying skier or border.

What these guys are ranting about are real safety hazards. Someone could get hurt or hurt a dog running loose in crowded areas with skiers.

Maybe Glenn was implying that you don't really understand responsible pdog ownership?

Snowshoeing in the skin track is just annoying.

i encourage booters..dogs..snow shoers to use my skin track..other skinners too

don't need any more precious pow destroyed than nesseccary..

They are revenue occupants in the sense that they are members of the public and presumably pay federal taxes. The land Alpental operates on is, after all, owned publicly.

I feel ya though. Weekend crowds at ski area = suck. But that's not exactly unforeseeable or surprising.

Naive statement
The land Alpental operates on is covered by a SUP, which Ski Lifts Inc. pays the Fed for.
As such, they are responsible for all activity on said property within said permit area.
That means that they can close access at any time the like in the course of operating that business.
