| From Mustang Powder - Easter Weekend |
Well a BIG thanks goes out again this year to Heidi. She is a part time tail guide for Mustang Powder Lodge cat skiing. One of the things she likes to do is go up to the lodge after their season is over and ski tour. I think it’s pretty awesome that her boss is cool with that. Anyway, this is the second year that she brought us along. Phil - who we met just a week ago - joined us too at the last minute. It was great to get to know him.
One cool addition this year was that we got to actually ride in a snowcat as it was down at the parking lot. Last year we took snow machines in, which was much faster, but this was pretty cool. This year it was “Freya”, their back-up snowcat (the fancy Piston Bully cats are already put to bed for the off-season). Heidi showed off her driving skills by getting us up to the lodge. On top of that, Wayne, the summer caretaker needed a bit of training time in the snowcat, so he took us up onto the slopes on the first day. So I guess you could say that we’ve gone cat skiing now!
The snow was not as good this year as last, but we had tons of fun on terrain mostly different from last year. There was some new snow on the second and third day too which helped.
Anyway, didn’t take a lot of pics, but below are a few highlights…
