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.
