We had a great ski into Tolovana Hotsprings. The trail was a trapline and pella tried to steal the food in the traps. Ben and Ed skiing in the begining of the route, a downhill snow plow screamer on cross country non metal edge skis. Ed made some incredible enchilades he carried in for us.
Ben going over the top of tolovana dome, about 8 miles into our 11mile ski. This part was really steep and Ben carried my sled and his pack! That was awesome because we were able to get there in plenty of time to enjoy the hot springs.Patrick and Ben arriving at the cabin, where Ed had the wood fire stove buring and hot coca waiting, nice.



Dan skied in the 60 mile route intsead from Fairbanks and he made it in 1 day! That is a looooong way, he ran into a wolverine in trap that was growling at him in the middle of the night and alone on the trail (i would have crapped my pants). His dog would not come and when he went to investigate, he saw the animal in the trap. Patrick brought a can of dominos and that was the main entertainment after the hotsprings.
