4/	Grand Total				29.0
1/		If the road to Leesburg is not being plowed, add about 0.6 miles if taking the "Right Fork" and about 0.2 miles if taking the "Left Fork" to ski back to the "William's Cr. - Deep Cr." Road.
2/		The Wapiti Loop is our easiest trail. However it has too many ups and downs for a first day skier. Practice at Chief Joseph Pass or the Salmon Golf Course for a few days first.
3/		'Technically most of the Ridge Road would not rate an easiest due to a few moderately steep pitches over 7%. However due to our usually good snow conditions beginners can usually ski this road. Thus the Easiest + and Easiest ++ ratings. Beginners should avoid if icy.
4/		Note: Additional miles could be skied by skiing further on Ridge Road in either direction. Once could also ski additional miles on the Perreau Timber Sale Road 5082.

Note: Use the above mileages to annotate your map. Last edit: 02/02/2002 Minor rev. 11/22/2002
