i was once skinning up to source lake and found a bunch of boy scouts and their leaders camped right in the middle of the cat track people use to ski back from the alpenthal backcountry, right below the little drop everyone flies down to maintain speed through the flat section that follows it. tents, cooking pits, semi-dormant 12 y/o's strewn everywhere. i told them they had about 20 minutes before the lifts opened.
i loved being in the boy scouts; i come from a family of pampered couch potato urbanites and it was the only thing that got me outside as a kid.
