Friday I went up to Hatcher Pass to do some snow boarding. Once up to the parking lot I decided to dig a snow cave and sleep in it rather than pitch my tent. The evening was crisp and clear but not terrible cold (I think it was about 10 degrees). After I dug the cave I glazed it with a candle to set it then moved my tarp and bag in. In the morning I grabbed my snow board and hit the hills. The snow was about 4 feet deep so I had to work hard even with snow shoes. The runs were, soft and smooth but difficult to see due to lack of contrast. Great weekend.
That is an awesome cave! and the view is something else too!
