A friend and I did Charlton Peak today and then came back approximately by the route shown as a black line below. We saw a bunch of old-looking orange triangular signs on the trees, about 10' above the snow. I should be able to post a picture of one. On one tree there was also an arrow pointing east. Does anyone know what these are?
Orange triangular signs north of Charlton Peak -- what are they?

Photo of one of the signs, with most of the paint peeled off.

Howdy Ben,
The signs indicate a backcountry ski route. How was the snow and what equipment did you use?

Hi Ellen -- Nice to hear from you. How have you been? I wrote a separate TR that describes the snow and conditions: charlton-peak-from-south-fork-jan-27-2019-t7972.html
Interesting, I hadn't realized that anybody bothered to mark backcountry ski routes. Would it be the forest service putting these up? Darn, I can't imagine skiing through this landscape. There were a heck of a lot of trees in the way.
