We had friends staying in the Gothic hut near our house who invited us to come and spend the night and ski with them. We left promptly at 5:30 pm after work and had a wonderful 3.5 mile ski into the hut in the moonlight. It was quite a surprise to everyone at that point because they figured that we were not coming. The night was spent helping the crew that had been there for 3 days finish their food and drink so they did not have to carry it out. We did a good job of that! We spent time with Jessie, Liz's Boulder roommate (she introduced Mark and I), and met other great people. We crashed that night in a pretty posh "hut" if you could call it that! Normally the huts we have been to in the past have only a wood burning stove, no running water. This place had a stove, microwave (gasp!), in floor heat and a shower. It still had an out house, sorry no heated seat!
This morning we skied out and hiked up Snodgrass mountain for some fresh powder turns. It was great! It was a refreshing little get away. Now back to work tomorrow. Here are a few photos!
