Spring came so suddenly, from 20 below to 50 everyday. Ben and I decided to get our last skis of the year in. Friday we skate skied Creamers Field (already plowed for the birds) and Saturday hit the backcountry at Clearly summit for some tele turns.Hiking up from the Steese. It is a quick and steep ascent , you can earn your turns pretty easily .About to ski and the view was great on and off as some clouds rolled through.

Pella met a friend within two minutes of our hike. He skied with us all day, he was a local, and didn't want Pella to leave.
