Caribou Bluff Cabin

We skied 30miles into Caribou Bluff cabin on Saturday for Ed's birthday. Then on Sunday we skied out 31 miles via Fossil Gap Trail and out the Colorado Creek trail head. Ben skied in to meet us and drive back to the Wickersham trailhead and get the cars. The crew of amazing skiers were Ed, Brian, John, Dan, Robin and Heather on a bike. They were so crazy fast that I had Sky to skijor with for most of the ski. It was still the longest two skiis I have ever done into the most beautiful part of the White Mountains and I am so glad I was able to go! We had northern lights to top off our great night at Caribou Bluff Cabin, this is Ed's picture of the night.

The small cabin was tight for 7 people and 2 dogs so Dan slept outside in his tent.

Robin descending down from the Cabin towards Beaver Creek. I left early in the morning to get a jump on the ski and Sky and crew joined us later.

Dan carried a fat man pie in for Ed's birthday and we all did a flaming pumpkin shot. Thanks everyone for a great ski weekend, this one is my favorite cabin trip in Alaska (so far).
