North Coast Ski trip

Despite the cold weather, our ski trip to Lutsen Mountain went very well. I had to work Friday so I met the family at Hidden Cove on Friday night. They skied/snowboarded most of the day and had a great time. Nothing froze even though low temps for the day were likely in the teens below zero and the highs were probably in the single digits below. Saturday we all went and enjoyed a beautiful, frigid day on the mountain. The views of Lake Superior from the top of "Moose Mountain" were spectacular. I ended up having to buy a neoprene face mask since the thin polypropylene thing I had didn't block the wind at all. We spent much of our time (since everyone but Brennen had either never skied or hadn't been on the slopes for a very long time) on the easy hills on Ullr Mountain but we did ride the gondola over to Moose Mountain for a couple of longer, more challenging runs.



The view from our condo was wonderful as well. The big picture window looked out from the second floor onto a steaming Lake Superior. The photo is from the little gravel beach at the bottom of the hill. Sunlight in the morning was a welcome sight after too many long, dark winter days lately.
