    Awesome catch! What causes these to move? Has anyone ever seen them move? Is it weather? Aliens?

    Very cool. Hard to believe that it blew in all the way from Death Valley. But it must be true, it's on the internet!

    Thanks, everyone! Glad you liked my little joke. :D

    This scene just screamed "Racetrack" when I came across it. The picture only shows a single rock, but there a few more out of the frame that were evidently part of a small slide that broke off that large rock formation at the top of the frame.

    Bonus points for anyone who recognizes the location. mwink.gif

    No, sorry Marc! Right mountain range, but you're a couple hundred miles to the south. mwink.gif

    Bingo! thumb.gif Any idea where at Squaw? I've been skiing there for 29 years, and have seen this view hundreds of times. And yet, I don't think I'd recognize it from this picture. Weird, I know. headscratch.gif

    Now that's tough! Just noticed ski tracks and that limited it to inbounds. I would guess "The Funnel" on Emigrant Pk?

    Dont think its KT22 or Squaw Peak??????
