Skied up Red Mountain and then over to Goose Lake for the night. It was a bit late for skis as there were many melted out spots. I ended up stashing the skis 1/3 of the way up Red Mtn and walking the rest of the way though there was lots of snow up higher. I was able to drive to the Red Mtn turnoff from FR 60 and then to within a quarter mile of Crest Camp for the ski to Goose Lake. From there it was 5 miles, the first 4 on consistent snow. The first vehicle of the year drove in that same day and so there was one car camping setup at Goose Lake.
