Spider Gap
Here we go again! Snow has dusted Leavy a couple of times these past weeks. Of course, that ignites ski passion. Last weekend, Andy, Chuck, Ben, and I skinned from the Phelps Creek Trailhead all the way to Spider Gap. Since we traveled through a winter wonderland, I anticipated fantastic skiing. And for October it was pretty good! But alas, the wind had it's way with the snow up high. Still, it was very skiable, with some punchy, wind affected sections to keep us on our toes. The highlight of the day was being able to return all the way back to the car on skis. I've never been able to do that when you can drive to the trailhead. Cool!
