Snow!

By
It snowed again at Bridger Bowl. First time in a while, and it just so happened that I had modified my schedule so that I didn't have to come in at all on Thursday if I didn't want to. I didn't want to this Thursday.

The really cold weather (-45 wind chill!) made having a beard an experiment in growing icicles. They connected to my chin at one point.










Did some ridge-hikes with Ian and some other friends. It was ankle to waist deep snow, kind of what I remember Bridger being like a few years ago when the snow fall was consistent. This season has had the smallest amount of snowfall I've ever seen at Bridger (7 years). Stupid el nino.



It's good now though, going to go skiing in the Bridgers tomorrow, not at the ski area since my pass is midweek only. Maybe getting towed on a snowmobile somewhere.

   Destination: Erica Bruennle for sleeping, Loffelstertz Lake for Eating 11km, 46 minutes. Fast roads Temperature: down to 0, a little frost in the morning but not much.  OR Intersteller Bivy, EE 20 deg quilt, Thermarest Xtherm, Rumpl, Rab Dagwalkinjacket Three scoops of Huel still wasn't enough, but the Cajun pasta was pretty good. Ate dinner by the lake, but it was too windy to be comfortable sleeping there.  Will likely try and stay at a trekking Erlebnis place next time with a proper campfire. We'll see.  Sleeping was cold, slept with the Rumpl on top of the quilt/bivy which probably compressed the down. Managed a reasonable night's sleep either way. Sleep system still needs work.. Blaek coffee is great, and two is more than enough.
