Medicine Bow Nordic Ski Patrol
Patrol Log: Sunday, December 31, 2006:
D. Moncecchi, L. Moncecchi, J. Moncecchi, S. Pounder
Lori, Dino,
Johannah & Sandi with two minions (Danny and Nate) and 3
four-footed-furry
critters. Skied from Green Rock on the Pot Holes Trail not quite
reaching the
road where a snow pit was dug. The group returned on the same
trail touring
from about 1 – 5 PM. The weather was pleasant and the temp.
around 20°F.
Two other skiers were returning on the trail. We were involved in
a S&R. One
of the furry critters, to remain nameless, but is large and white, as
it turned
out, fell asleep in a snow hole while others were digging a snow
pit. At the
approximate ¾ point back, the tour members became aware of the
fact that a four-footed
member has not been seen. Even though the group was sure that the
culprit, if
you will, was at the parking lot harassing bubbleheads, a funny
feeling, and
the fact that the group was above the climb, led the group to decided
that two patrollers
should return to the snow pit site and the rest proceed to the
lot. After awhile
the two members returning up the trail found the critter sheepishly
trotting
down the trail. A successful S&R. Having 2 radios
came in handy.

We did not
get a trailer count so assume
that CML, LLL, & GRP (14) were non-mechanized travel and the
balance (139) were
for mechanized.
