Day 1: a grueling 24 mi ski into Wolf Run Cabin with a 30+ mph headwind, totally exposed. it took far longer than we anticipated and finding the windblown trail in the dark became a nightmare. For a while I was sure we would have to bivy out once we lost the trail. we finally arrived at the cabin at 11 pm (nearly 10 hours of skiing!)
Day 4: glorious spring ski - perfect trail conditions, 35 degrees and sunny.
we had it all. and that made it a fantastic trip. thanks audrey for a great trip!
if you read this profile map RIGHT to LEFT - this is our trip. I stole this off Ed's blog - he and Dan skied the same loop a few month ago, but in reverse direction. looking at the profile you may ask why we choose to go this direction.... a damn good question!
last day - audrey's 'look no hat' smile
we THOROUGHLY enjoyed relaxing in the cabins in the morning sun...
ski boots are simply not made for 8 hour days. we both had major foot problems.

Stupid question - what mile of the Steese did you set out from? Or was it another hwy? :)
Ohhh Julie, that looks miserable. What day did your feet start falling apart?
