Went for an easy ski with Astrid and our dog... snow conditions were poor with either sunbaked snow crust and/or tree bombs that had frozen so skiing was not easy. Great to get out of the fog though! Beautiful blue bird of a day! You'll have to hunt around for good snow this weekend...
How steep is the terrain once you get past the end of the road? I'm looking for destinations where we can take our 1 year old son in a chariot ski sled. So far Red Heather, Fat Dog and Ottomite mountain are about the only places that I think would work. Any slope you can ski straight down (i.e. snowplow) is fine but it doesn't go across the fall line very well and sidehills are a a definite no go.
Francis, what is the snow depth at Allison Pass? I suspect north-facing slopes should still be well preserved.

I've had some experience skiing with sleds. I think Mount Alpen would work, at least to the snowmobile hut. You could still make it a bit higher and maybe all the way to the summit bowl.
