GeezusCan2 and four friends drove nearly to the top of Corral Pass, near Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, and looked around for tracks. They found some about 400 yards in from the parking lot, mountainside filled with noble fir Christmass trees and berries of all sorts. Prints were 16 to 18 inches long, 8 to 10 inches wide, toes showing clearly, ended in unsnowed area after about 50 feet.
