The slow advent of the snow season has people wondering whether there'll be enough snow for the mushers to run on Feb. 9 and 10, the dates of Mancos Mush IV. We're here to say it sure looks good at this point! We went up beyond Transfer Campground this afternoon and there was solid snowpack on about 99 percent of the route we covered above the point where the races started in 2006. Most of the course is even higher than we were, it's still early in the winter and we feel very optimistic about good sledding. Doing snow dances still won't hurt, but it looks pretty good (and beautiful!) up there right now.
Sandy got this shot of the snow-packed course just above Transfer, and I captured the scene around the Aspen Guard Station higher up.
