Bryant Camp

I have skied by the Bryant camp many times. This time we got to actually stay there. We hit a great stretch of weather with nice new snow and warm but below freezing temperatures. Thanks to Hope and Kevin for getting the cabin and setting up this trip!
Thu started out at Stowe at 8:30. Great snow almost everywhere. If you got on some steeper trails there was some ice in some areas. I was pretty happy in the lower angle woods and on the regular trails. I met Holly at Bolton at 1:00 and we brought are stuff up to the cabin and then skied Georges Gorge-> Cliff Hanger-> Telemark. We were the first people down this route that day and there was plenty of nice powder. We met Kevin after that and headed up into the woods and skied Alchemist. Nice sunset run.
We met Hope at the Tavern and then we all went up to Bryant camp. It was night but clear skies and the half moon lit up the trail enough that you didn't need a head lamp. After dropping our gear we decided to go around Birch Loop. We didn't need the lights for some of this ski also. I haven't done any night skiing in a while so this was fun and different.
The next day we were off to more skiing. Up Heavenly Highway->Moose Glen-> Paradise Pass-> Devils drop. Later in the day I did another run down Georges Gorge but headed down the Prayer Flags area. All nice snow and our tracks from the day before had filled in a fair amount from snow from the trees. Someone had fixed up the Prayer Flags since we had been there the day before.
Great couple of days in the woods. Nice to be up there at night and also early AM. Lots of pictures of woods and powder. Very lucky to be there taking them!
