Four Feet of Snow in 2 Days

When it decides to snow here....does it ever come down. There was a good 3 foot base before and now it is all white. Bryan decided to go and take down the Goat Trail sets. This is a short line of 2 1/2 km close to our cabin. It usually takes 40 minutes round trip. Bryan went alone so that he would not have to keep looking back to see if I had made it. He took Pancho (550 Tundra long track) and a toboggan to haul boxes and traps (Griz tear down boxes if left out). He left at 11 am. The toboggan only made it to the bottom of the hill and was ditched. With four new feet of snow it was horrible. He just kept making another run up with snow drifting off the top of the Skidoo until he was stuck...but Pancho can back up like crazy....there is no machine like it....it just steps up onto the snow and backs down. Once up the hill and onto the first ridge he had the tree-well problem....every tree was like a trap. Also just on the way up there were 15 trees across the trail...Bryan said it was like a hand faller was up there. All the snow in the trees from the last 2 months and then another 4. He said there was snow plops happening everywhere. If one of these hit you it is like a 50 lb sack of cement. He made it to 1 km from the top and had to snowshoe the last 1km.... some of the open alder patches had 9 feet of snow. At one point as he was struggling he felt his ears go....like when you are in an airplane. This lasted until 9pm.
I had been outside since 2:30 shovelling snow and was SO VERY GLAD TO SEE THE SKIDOO LIGHTS.  It was 5 pm and it had taken him 6 hours....He said to me "I didn't think I was going to make it".
