Hurricane Hill Snowshoe

Got up early, made the long drive from south-end. Weather turned out to be fantastic! Road up to Hurricane Ridge was free and clear of snow, all the equipment is chained and ready to go for the next storm. We got to the parking lot around 9, it was not crowded at all. The Ski hill is open, lots of kids sledding, skiing, boarding, and snowshoeing. Met some friends at the lodge around 10 and set out for Hurricane Hill. We had to move over at one point so the Cat could groom the trail. Snow is old and crunchy but not bad. Trees aren't covered with rim ice at the moment, lots of bare dirt spots on the hill today. Beautiful views in every direction. Great time was had by all. I even broke in my husband, he got his first blister from hiking today, and I can bet it won't be his last! I promised him a burger from Fat Smitty's and they were closed at 4:30, bummer maybe next time.
