You probably didn't know this but I conducted the snow surveys for Vienna Mine, Galena and Galena Summit when I worked for NRCS in Hailey. Also did Muldoon, Fish Creek, and another one over out of Carey/Arco, the one on Trail Creek Summit between Sun Valley and MacKay, and a couple others. About half I skied to, a few we did by snowmobile and there were 3 or 4 I did by helicopter--Vienna Mine and Fish Creek notably. Best couple years of my life with the feds in Idaho, actually
