Skiing and Soaking in March

It was a perfect day for a ski to Upper Angel Creek Cabin.  Betsy, Tom, Tiff, Sandy, and PJ at the trailhead.





The snow glistened in the bright sunshine along the trail.





My thigh and calf muscles were grateful to Sandy for sharing her ibuprofen, without which I would have never made it the 6.7 miles to the cabin.





Geeze, some moose forgot to flush. 



Tom was a great sherpa, but his search & rescue services were thankfully not needed this time.



The cabin amenities included an outhouse, stove, firewood, a lantern, matches, and other useful items.




We had to eat a LOT of frittata the next morning to get our energy up for the ski back out.




Sandy crossing Angel Creek and packing the ibuprofen for Betsy. 



There's nothing better than a nice relaxing soak in the hot springs to soothe those tired ski muscles.



I swear that trail was a lot shorter when I did it ten years ago, but was still great to get out again.  Thanks, Sandy!
