A little after 7:00 I had packed my gear and began to kick and glide the rest of the loop. The moderate temperature (16 degress) and packed powder made for perfect skiing conditions. I finished the loop in solitude, having enjoyed a great trip.

1/27-28/12: Fish Creek Meadows, ID
I arrived at the trailhead around 9:00, after having put the kids to bed. The temperature was in the low 20's and the remnants of a crescent moon was setting. I turned on my headlamp and skied a little over two miles to get to the Fish Creek Cabin, a small warming hut on the cross country ski loop. I built a fire in the stove, threw out my sleeping bag and turned in.
The horizon began to brighten a little after 6:00 and I got the woodstove going again. I ate a Cliff Bar for breakfast and enjoyed the view of the sunrise over the Gospels.

Boy, what a great trip. It was a pleasure to read it and enjoy your photos. Good for you for taking some time for solitude. Thanks for sharing with us!
Your photos are finally starting to show some snow! Looks like it came late this year...
We have had a mild winter this year. The mountains are holding some snow, but down here on the prairie it has been in short supply.
