I’ve been XC skiing at Cabin Creek many times and often wondered what is beyond the end of the groomed trail turnaround near the top of Amabilis. Yesterday, we threw on snowshoes and found out! We were greeted by deep, untracked powder and a winter wonderland of snow-covered evergreens. Although it was foggy most of the hike, we still had a few moments where the sun peeked through the clouds. We went the long way, for a total of ~11.3 mi and 3k gain; I think the shorter route is closer to 10.5 mi and 2k.
Snowshoers: if walking up the groomed XC trails, please remember to stick to the edges so you don’t tear up the track or skate lane.
