I skiied by this sign and decided the spot needed a cache. The sign points to the cache, sort of..

This is a silver micro can hanging on the downhill side of a partially dead tree.

Great find! I was introducing a good friend of mine to the sport. Beautiful and kinda snowy day at ABay. Flat light on the front side was really bad. But this cache is in great shape! Be warned - the metal triangle is pulling apart and it fell off while handling the cache (and landed on my ski). I reattached it but use caution when handling. Found some Colorado cologne maker in the cache - not my cup of tea. Signed the log and enjoyed the day. Thanks for placing this cache!

With belwig and slacker4 on a skiing caching trip. I confess that skiing is tougher for me these days so belwig makes the finds and I just watch from the trail. Hard to believe this one has no favorites, but it does now. Thanks KA&JWest

Another A-Basin ski-cache. I never saw the mentioned sign, but I did come up from below. Cache is in good shape. Snow is quite deep now so the approach was tricky. It adds a half star. Signed with the group b+j+s. Thanks!

Quick find, spotted the spot from afar. Almost died getting here in white out and icy conditions, but we made it! Tftc

First skiocache of the day with Lidlove. She spotted the alleged migratory dead tree and we made the find! Signed log and replaced. Thanks!

I think this dead tree keeps walking west! Anyway, the cache was gone and I replaced it, and here are my best coordinates from today.

Lots of tree trimming and clearing in the area, and no obvious dead tree, just dead tree short stump. Left a replacement in the closest island to GZ behind a square iron skillet. Go figure... Thanks for bringing me here!
