Easter break we ventured out to Red Lodge again. Like every year the group varied and we even had Sully dog along! (eyeing a deer below) We had great weather, snow and fun times like usual.
The crew before departure. We left a day early with storm coming in which seems kind of crazy but a 10 hour drive turned to 20 not fun on the interstate and kids needing to get back to school.
Stop at the Wurst Shop in Dickinson, ND. which has become traditional. Great eats!
Got into puzzles big time this trip.
Easter morning shanagains. Easy Anna.
The trip coincided with
31 days of skiing. After alpine/telemark skiing the first few days of the trip, I ventured out for a solo ski in the backcountry for the final day along Ingles Creek.
Froze down hard the night before making for great crust skiing.
Making a turn on the way down. Would be a fun trail to mountain bike in the summer!
Venturing off the main trail on to a side slope for some turns.
Lift service skiing with the boys on the first day.
Carving through the trees.
Skiing with Jonell the second day.
The day we got home we returned to full on winter. Since we were still in Red Lodge the start of April, logged a ski on the first. Decided to keep the daily skiing going and kicked off day 33 skiing with the family.
Fun ski, testing out some new skin skis as well.
Skiing continued into April and managed to make it 58 days straight. Crust cruising with Denny on area lake.
Still great skiing into the end of April, incredible silky corn snow corduroy on April 28th with Peder Arneson.
Fun ski with Jon when he was home from college for spring break.
Spring skiing can't be beat with good snow, sunshine and long days. Highlights were skiing with the family. Can't remember such a cold April before the the weather records reflect.
