More sightings of the young High Drive Bluff moose happened over the weekend. Bicyclist and blogger, John Speare encountered a trail hog during one of his rides causing him to double back to avoid any confrontation.

Speare saw just the younger moose. Like the previous sighting covered on the site last week, the alleged mother was nearby, but out of view.

For those using the trails, use caution when near the moose. After all - they are still wild animals.

“I don’t think we (humans in modern urban world) really appreciate the “wild” part of animals sometimes,” Speare wrote in response to his blog post. He continued, “I fear that a human may do something stupid down there, get trampled/hurt/killed by a moose, and then the moose will be disappeared - that would be a shame.”

Don't let the lack of snow in town keep you off the slopes this week. Expertly-groomed, silky smooth corduroy runs await you at the local ski areas, and Mt Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park is making it even more affordable for you to take advantage.

Corduroy refers to the tracks left on the runs by the grooming equipment. It looks just like the material, and it is awesome for carving out clean turns.

During its "Corduroy Sale", Mt. Spokane is rolling back its holiday pricing on lift tickets to mid-week pricing Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. The sale saves adults $13 per ticket, and kids and college students save $10. Midweek season passes, which are normally blacked-out during the holidays, will be allowed on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday as well.

As I have experienced first-hand, snow conditions are holding up very well despite the lack of recent snowfall. The folks at Mt. Spokane say the cold weather coupled with their top-notch grooming practices have preserved the base with full coverage on the groomed runs. HAVE FUN!
