Day 1: Snow cavesWe departed school, dug snow caves, got cold, got warm, established base-camp, cooked and ate chicken noodle soup and practice hypo-wraps. Day 2: Montgomery PassBeautiful sunrise, slippin' into snowshoes, bluebird-sky-day, snow science, snow tunnel, snow slides, hot coco, and splinting broken bones. Day 3: Lake AgnesAn early rising, back into our snowshoes, the sharp Nokhu Crags, heavy breathing, shedding layers, avalanche zone crossing, an old cabin, a frozen lake, strong winds, challenge night, and, for some, a night outside. Day 4: SleddingSome of us awoke outside. Some of us awoke in a warm cabin. The story for those that slept outside is far more captivating than for those that slept in shelter. Never-mind where each of us slept, our day begin with a hustle and bustle. We packed our bags, gobbled down some morning grub, loaded the vehicles with pots, pans, stoves and sleds and headed back east in search of a snowy hill to sled on and a space for a closing circle.
