Patchskiing - 2021
Instead of posting a separate TR for every patchskiing day, I'm going to put them in one thread. I hope that others will add to this. I also hope to provide views, creamed corn and soft-serve snow images, along with some dog stoke.
I'll post some highlights from each day.

I'll start with a dusk patrol mission on the surprising skier-groomed Sagebrush Glade on Mt. Sputnik on February 5, 2021

^^Good stuff Vets.
Probably the end of the line today for our local hill Great Divide, but I did manage to connect the dots all the way to the lodge. Saw one of the owners walking her little kids around in the parking lot and had a good conversation (they live there year round). Got a chance to thank her for doing such an awesome job during a pandemic. Mediocre snow year, but we still had turns on the mountain from October through May so I'll take that for sure.

Thanks yeahman.
The place looks like it is has some character. It has moved up on my to do list.
Did you have to do any dry "portages" connecting the dots on the way down?

Skiing Dunderberg Glade with Zooey on October 9, 2021. I started my 216th consecutive month skiing with sort of a powder day (0-3 inches of fresh on a 0-3 inch base of pine cones, pine needles, rocks and branches.)

Skiing Antelope Ridge with Mrs. Vets, Zooey, and Hazel on 12/02/2021.
The snow was like wind-scalloped, hard freezer burn.
Still, it was a fun start to my 218th consecutive month skiing.
