Rather than utilize the luxurious access off Thompson Pass, Em & I figured it was Himalayan training time and left the cabin door yesterday morning via skis for
Stone Mt. We knew we were off to a great day as we saw a moose soon after crossing the Lowe river. Besides breaking trail in a couple feet of snow, Em layed an efficient track above treeline.
This morning, I took advantage of that highway. With good visibility, Matt and I went up into
Loveland Basin. If the temp was

20 degrees warmer, we would have had some fantastic photos. For instance, we descended a fun gully down low which was bordered on the left by blue ice of a glacier snout...beautiful.
With the skiing great and the scrabble playing epic (Matt & Tabitha have post doctorate degrees in scrabble strategy), life is very nice. The only less-than-ideal reality we've faced is I was quite disillusioned with my car selling expectations up here. The Suby has produced zero interest thus far.
