hiking (snowshoes) 2:00:00 [1] 8.2 mi (14:38 / mi)

Jonathan and a friend came up from SF to do some tele skiing up around Donner Summit, so I tagged along for the uphill part on the snowshoes. Once we got up to the ridgeline almost up top of Castle Pk, they skiied back down into the bowl, and I traversed across the ridge to Basin Pk. Fairly windy on the ridge, and super windy on the summit. But I dropped down another ridge into the bowl and got out of the wind almost right away, then down across the flat and back to the trail we came up. Hard crusty snow on the ridges, many feet of powder down in the bowl. 4.5 hours rt.

Went past a ski cabin on the way out, which was pretty cool because it had two floors but no stairs, just ladders. But it also had two doors to get in, one on each floor. So in early season you enter on the first floor and climb up to the second, but in late season when there's lots of snow the first floor is buried, so you just go in on the second floor and then climb down.

Note

wet and snowing all day, another foot already? so instead I added dragons to cfi. they're totally relevant to orienteering games.
