March 2018 - Kelly Mountain Ski Hut


With weird winter weather we wondered if we would actually be able to make it up to the Kelly Mountain Ski Hut, but we were #blessed with warm wonderful sunshine on the trek in and a winter squall on our way out.

Eleanor and I stayed plenty busy singing John Denver songs whilst skiing uphill to the Y-junction and then along the road back to the hut.  

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy...


Once encamped we had a great meal of Ramen-o-rama™, followed by a surprise showing of one of our favorite shows - Mythbusters.  It was only appropriate that we watched the "Cabin Fever" episode :).
See the sunlight through the pines...

With the help of our little wood burning stove we stayed snug all night and in the morning awoke to lightly falling snow that quickly turned into quite the squall.  We were glad to be heading downhill on our way out, but the wind in our faces made for a tricky descent!

Shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby..
