Epic day, fire, snow shelter, stucks, powder

Fun day today. Sarah, Tom, Todd and Cheryl and their kids Stone and Caleb. 5 snowmobiles. We started out the day with lots of snow and cloudy skies. Then we stopped to make a fire and build a snow shelter. Last week Sarah got lost on a hut trip with some of her girl friends and she wanted to learn how to build a snow cave. It was a lot of work but plenty of fun. Sarah hit a tree (barely) and was able to use her new saw. Very exciting.

On the way out, Cheryl and Stone roll the sled. One of three rolls of the day.

Taking a break on the way to... have some more fun!

We find a dead tree and cut off some branches to burn. Sarah is working on her snow cave.
