Extremly low rank on the JOM, but that wasn't my motivation.
Hiked the mostly clear suprise creek trail until the lake. Continuous snow form there on. Skinned up the drainage to glacier lake, then up to the gap. Continued skinning part way up the south west side of point 6594 for good views of daniel and hinman. Skied back to the gap, then dropped my gear to climb suprise. Turned back when I noticed something furry rummaging around my stuff.
Ride down was fun, but nothing exciting.... New snow was nice in the shade, but a little grabby in the sun.

Nice :) Love the random, wandering, low JOM tours...
Nice, looks like some fun lines up there...do you know what the furry critter was?
Thanks Marcus. Personally, my meter spikes when I hit the trail. So the low drive time should give it a higher percentage.
Not sure what the little guy was Stu. I was a few hundred feet up, and my eyes are crap. He was gone by the time I got back, and no tracks. It could have been a shadow person.
