Temp. -7 - 14

Oh man, I had 40 people in the hut today at the same time and they were all eating lunch.  To put things in perspective, about 10-13 people can eat comfprtably in there.  Its a little tight with 20. Just when I thought no one else could fit I would look out the window and another group of snowmobiles would be pulling in.  

It was cold today.  About zero when I got to the hut, but then it warmed up a little.  Its nice where I am because we are surrounded by trees and that gives us a break from the wind coming off the lake.

We have an area that is sometimes closed due to avalanche risk.  I met with one of the rangers today and she offered to take me out to the pass and give me the "tour" so I will get a better understanding of how they assess the conditions.  I'm super excited about it.  I drove out that way a little ways, but that was to get to a good lookout to see if the lake had frozen over (we need to determine it for records sake).  

I'm getting much better at chopping kindling.
