Trout Creek Ski

Laura and I went skiing up Trout creek today.  We had to park at the bottom at the County Road and ski up from there.  There were snowmobile tracks for the first few miles, but after that we had to break our own trail.  We ended up skiing about 10.5 miles and had almost 3000 feet of elevation gain.  The sun came and went for most of the day and it was a little cooler up high.  I had 5 degrees on my thermometer where we turned around and 20 when we got back to the pickup.  It was a fun day and Nelson is thoroughly worn out.
