Made it to the Woolly Hole, what a suffer fest. Found no good turns! just lost of pucker bushes and rocks seemed to be the theme. One step forward two steps back, the facets were a wallowing good time. By the time we made it to the good skiing it was to late in the day to head up hill and had to head out. Enjoy the movie!
