I catch a very equal amount in the exposed walkthrough sets as I do in a big dirt hole. I DONT do the flagging thing though as I find if not put in the right spot it can do more harm than good. so with a lot of snow, just scoop and sweep a 3 foot area and expose the dirt for a set?

I sweep as big an area as I can and then kick and scrape the dirt with my boot's,throwing top soil and duff everywhere.the point is,1.To clear the set.2.To make a big,visual disturbance that can be seen for aways.
You should be able to find some good,dry stuff,up under the cedars,to cover your traps with.The fallen needles,dry,rotted needles and often there is dry dirt under there that can work.If the set is in a windy spot,you might need to sift a light layer of dry,local dirt on top to hold the cedar duff in place.
I always try to find sheltered places for the sets when I can.In this country,that's often the base of a big fir tree and sometimes,if I'm lucky,an overhanging ledge,which there aren't enough here to suit me.

That's the images address on imgur. To make it show up on forums choose the link with [img] tags on each end of that address. I think it's called bbcode.
