Last weekend (President’s Day weekend), I went with Christina, William and Zach up to the lookout cabin on top of Garnet Peak.
Being a fire lookout cabin in the Gallatins, the views were breathtaking.
We hiked in on Saturday, played in the snow on Sunday, and hiked out on Monday.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather. We had blue-bird skies all three days, and six inches of fresh powder on Saturday night to play in on Sunday!
We didn’t bring a sled with us, but there was a snow-shovel at the cabin. Being the resourceful type, we built a bobsled-like course in the three-foot-deep snow, and spent much of Sunday perfecting the art of sledding on a snow-shovel.
To improve our run-times, we even waxed the shovel using a candle we found in the cabin.
Here’s a clip of William rocking out on the snowshovel:

Also: Ben Folds plays in Bozeman, April 22. Get Tickets. I’m doing backflips. I’m more excited than I can even say. … Yeah. I’m not even going to try to say how excited I am to say that I’m going to be seeing Ben in Bozeman on the 22nd. Of April. … Is it April yet? Is it? Is it April yet?!!

Also: the lunar eclipse tonight was bomber. Perfectly clear night. Full moon. A little freezing cold in the still of night, way up Bridger canyon. A little wine and Pink Floyd. A little watching the moon disappear and, gradually, grow brighter and reappear. Absolutely bomber. Next full lunar eclipse: 2010. I’ll be there.
Word.
