We started the hike 25 minutes late as our trip leader went to the wrong trailhead.

The weather was seasonal with temps in the mid 20's. We did about a mile in brand new snow.

Our hike took us to a vista where we enjoyed some tasty chocolate truffle courtesy of Jeff.

The trail was pretty deserted saved for another hiker, one cross-country skier and a little black mouse.

We closed the day at the Van Trapp brewery.

Many thanks for all who signed up.
