Incident #1000448
Weaverville, Trinity Cty, California
1934
Account
Dave Zebo climbed on skis to spend the night in a forestry lookout on Weaver Bally Mountain. Two miles past the tree line he encountered bipedal tracks sinking deep into the hard snow, and going in a straight line over the top, West to East, with paces of four to six feet, stretching on as far as he could see. Next morning they were covered by new snow.
