Day 1 of incredible back country skiing at the Wolf Creek Pass Yurt

TODAY IN COLORADO

February 22, 2004

1st day of a killer Back Country
Ski Weekend near Wolf Creek

	This is the yurt, almost buried by the 86 inches of snow surrounding it. Very comfortable and snug!!
The first day was a lot of breaking trail. Pushing through 1 to 2 feet of snow. The beautiful scenery and incredible skiing was definitely worth it.
	At the end of the day, there was a lot of Bridge playing!

Wolf Creek is in the Southern Colorado Rockies and San Juan Mountains. My friend Rodney decided to put a backcountry yurt trip together for 6 of us on this weekend. We started off from the Wolf Creek Ski Area parking lot and hiked in for 2 hours, breaking trail in about a foot and a half of snow!!
You pack in all of your food, sleeping bag and change of clothes. The yurt provides two bunk beds, a wood stove and wood, a 4 propane burner stove, utensils, cards and other outdoor necessities.
All around the yurt is incredible skiing, we would hike up about 600 ft, ski down and do it all over again. FRESH TRACKS every time!!!
