"Yeah. Rocks and snow."
"What about the other one?"
"Rifken? We split up about an hour ago. I came over the top; he's working his way around the ridge."
"I'd call in if I was you. Anyhow, I'm headed up to the roadblock on 321. You need anything?"
"No," says Hargadon. "We're headed in."
The trooper steps through the just-softening snow to his car and guns the engine before driving away. Hargadon follows with his eyes, noticing how the slush holds the impression of the tires and how the sun has found one or two patches of asphalt. The windows of the patrol car glisten as it recedes, and the engine fades to a soft purr, and then to nothing. There is only a clean, cold rush from the valley. As the car disappears around the last curve, Hargadon takes a long draft of pure mountain air and lets his eyes wander from the road. Up to the stand of hemlocks where he sees white movement, a bent branch, and a cascade of snow. Like a great white owl taking flight.
