Ski tour around Mt Catherine

(or Mt Catherine: The Hard Way)

January 11, 2004


This morning Michael, Dan, Josh and I sought refuge in the not so cold, rain crusted forests around Mt Catherine! Together we confronted mis-oriented maps, We traversed partially frozen lakes. Certain members of our party stoically dealt with defective ski equipment. But in the end, we successfully circumnavigated the Mt Catherine massif, 11+ miles of only partially ungroomed terrain. Our only casuality: a ski pole.
