Bruce Evatt and Joan Finney led a wonderful backcountry ski from Buck Prairie to Hyatt Lake on February 17, 2007. Sunny skies, spring snow and excellent views of Mt McLoughlin, Mt Ashland and Mt Shasta greeted the 13 skiers. After connecting with the snowmobile road, the group left the marked trail to explore and enjoy numerous downhill runs as they wound their way down to Hyatt Lake Resort for food and refreshment.

Yellowstone Ski Trip
Ten members of the GPNSC went backcountry skiing in Yellowstone National Park at the end of January with Yellowstone Expeditions. The skiing was great, the weather was fine (only one night of 18 degrees below zero) and the wildlife viewing was exceptional. Thanks to our guides, we had many close up opportunities to see bison, elk, foxes, coyotes, eagles, swans, geese and other waterfowl. Skiing along the rim of Yellowstone Canyon provided great vistas. A four mile ski to Violet Creek one day gave us an opportunity to warm up in a geo-thermal creek heated by Mother Earth to about 110 degrees.
