Hatcher Pass Christmas

i hope this post finds everyone in good health for the holidays. i am sooo lucky we were able to do this ski Christmas day, as dialysis has been making me extremely tired and almost not leaving the bed three days a week.
ben and i had a great trip to Hatcher Pass. Here is the view from our cabin and the peak we decided to tele ski Christmas day. we were the only ones there and the guy that owns the small a frame lodge made us whatever we wanted for breakfast.

walking to the lodge from our cabin for breakfast. he was so accommodating and had coffee's ready and stoked the coal fired stove for us.

leaving the cabin to ski the nearest peak. notice the fog rolling in on the right.

almost to the top.
taking the skins off for the decent. we dug a snow pit and the snow was amazingly stable, so we were able to ski a really steep pitch.
ben and his rockin tele turns. the fog was so dense, but the snow was awesome. ben probably has some more pics, but he is back to work today. i am home after another very tiring dialysis.
