My skiing partner decided that it was time we had some skiing at the Lost Ledge cabin, a backcountry hut operated by one of the local ski groups. So we packed up the skidoo, drove about 11 km up a forest service road, then skiied a couple of more km to the hut. This was late Friday afternoon. We didn't have great views that afternoon or evening, although it did clear up after dark and we had a nice moon casting shadows in the forest around the cabin.
The next morning, the early morning light was particularly nice over Mt Schroeder, just to our west. Minutes after this picture, the peak was in full sunlight. Keep in mind that this was almost the only sun we've seen in weeks given how cloudy and foggy it's been down in the valleys.
We skied several runs in the morning and then joined a few other fellows we knew for another run after lunch. I continued on down through the forest to the logging road and back to the highway and home as the rest were staying for another night. More pictures can be seen here.
