the wolverine way

Skied Mt. Wolverine today.  In Yellowstone Park.

  (nothing quite like climbing a mountain in stormy weather)

found some nice light along the way though

Also currently reading The Wolverine Way.  Fascinating animals.

Haven't ever seen one.   But found fresh tracks last March, in the same drainage..

with the ski being 15cm wide.

Did however, cut 5-minute-fresh coyote tracks while skiing off the peak today.

Ever ski up behind a coyote and pull his tail?! (counting coup)

I've come close a few times, and today was another close one (he made it to the flats super fast).

Would be hilarious to have a POV shot of that action.

But anyway, and unknown to me, Freedle and the Level 1 crew were a sand-wedge away, and watched this avalanche go down.
