Asulkan Cabin

Custodian Steve installed a drying rack and moved a shelf. We did some skiing and caught up with Ken and Ed from Team Vancouver. Conditions were fairly typical for this time of year. We had a few runs in the Toilet Bowl, on the adjacent moraine, and in front of the Pterodactyl. The Pterodactyl required some sketchy traversing over rocks embedded in clear water ice. Zoiks! So perhaps there's a little less snow than normal!

Asulkan Hut Maintenance

This was a day trip to the Asulkan Hut to help Steve with some maintenance. He didn't need to transport a 16' 2x4 this time thank goodness. The approach is still scratchy. There is coverage from the parking lot but we did need to remove the skis and walk a few times on the way up and then many times on the way down. There's about a meter of snow in the tree triangle. Unfortunately there's also breakable cartwheel inducing why-am-i-doing-this crust down anywhere from 0 to 20cm.
