Pine Loop descent to Swedetown creek reopened.

Some of you may recall the descent off the Pine loop (trail 5) which was groomed, maybe 10 years ago.  Many people still used it as a BC ski or
snowshoe trail down to the creek as an alternative route to Tomasi RD. 
With the loggers still using that road, we thought it was time to clear this
old route and and create a turn-around at the bottom, so we could then get our narrow implements down and smooth it up some.  This would make it a much
safer descent and we have no plans to ever track it.

The narrow old descent getting brushed.

A turn-around was cleared and is being tested here.

Then around with the largest tow machine we have.  It made it.

Looking towards the creek, you can see the pedestrian bridge skiers use.

Then we took the smallest drag we have to check its width.

It's rather narrow but should suffice.

Not looking too bad.

At the end of the day, Sam is grooming back up for the last time.

Now he pulls back onto the Pine loop.

Back at the ranch.  We need more snow!
