They had the use of the snowmobile, which carried emergency radio equipment for the first time. The boys were in contact with other snow survey crews at Panguitch, Moab and Roosevelt, all working the same Data gathered Friday day. came out in the complete snow survey booklet in Mondays mail, so somebody worked long overtime hours to get this report out over the week end. February storms improved the water outlook, but it is still poor in the central and southern part of the state, where streamflow is forecast at 35 to 75 per cent. In the northern part of the state, it is fair, with most forecasts ranging between 75 and 95 per cent of average. Reservoir storage is above average. The outlook for water during the coming April through September period has brightened considerably as a result of the storm pattern through February The water content of the snow pack at most of the courses has increased from one and to nearly three times the amount it generally does during February. The result of this above average increase is that stream- one-ha- lf flow forecasts are now 10 per cent to 30 per cent higher than a month ago. Several this are as follows: 1. Sevier River at Hatch is now forecast at 69 per cent, whereas last month it was 48 per cent. 2. Sevier River below Piute Dam is forecast at 37 per cent, last month at 25 per cent. 3. Spanish Fork River at Thistle now 60 per cent, last month 40 per cent. 4. Ashley Creek near Verml now 62 per cent, last month 52 per cent. In the center of the state, Sanpete, Sevier and Millard Counties, streams are expected to yield about 70 per cent of their average flow.

The boys unloaded their snowmobile at the first creek cross example-illustratin- g ing near Eiler Freeces ranch. Due to dry, fluffy snow, they wrre unable to go up to the Oorcbfrry Station snow course with the machine, and were forced to take the Lions Trail around to the top. This route proved to be the most difficult trip since the machines have been used. From the top, they were able to move down hill to the two snow courses. Deer were observed lower down this trip. They were found in the Gooseberry Station area and lower down. None were seen at the higher elevations, where they were located last month. Streams were bridged over with snow and ice.
