21 February 2009 - Amabilis Mt.


Not making a lot of progress on my quest to visit all the Sno-Parks this winter, but I've avoided exit 63 -- until now. Octavian didn't have a lot of time this Saturday so we opted for a very early jaunt up Amabilis. We were the first car in the parking lot and started out in the fog and wind, but broke out into a beautiful sunny day just below the summit. Snow conditions weren't too bad - the lower road was freshly groomed and there was a bit of fresh snow on the crust on the upper ungroomed part. The lower road was a bit icy, but the trip up didn't take too long and the trip down was as fast as I've ever done it; maybe as fast as I've ever skied on a road. Another trip that deserves a better write up and more pictures so I'll try to get back to it to finish up. (If my boss wouldn't keep interrupting me at work, I could keep up with this blog...)
