Franklin Motel Skiing

Custer and Herbst Glacier

This weekend, the infamous Blair, Jess and myself took advantage of the beautiful dump of snow to ski up to summit lake. Convinced that the sun would make getting in an ice climb uncertain, we decided not to let another trip pass with out needlessly carrying a pack full of ice gear. Between Blair and myself, we had too much tradition to break the trend.

The skiing was fabulous. The ice was a bit hollow sounding and sun baked. However, things were fully formed. The temps were hot, and the views fantastic. Thoughts of $4.25 poutine down at the Kilmorey seemed to speed up the trip back down to the car.
