Monarch Mountain - Mirkwood Basin - Orc's trail - POW ASSAULT

After what seemed like a 3-days hike (30-45mins) to top of Monarch Mountain Mirkwood Basin, I strapped in for a thigh deep, fluffy white treat. Pardon the screams but it was A-Darryl-Strawberry kind of day.

When you get to the summit of Mirkwood next time, especially if there is this much powder, you might try traversing skiers right past Orcs, Mirkwood bowl, Mirkwood trees, Staircase, East Trees - keep traversing to Mexico... Not on the map, Mexico is crazy steep.
