ONC New Year's at Black Butte trip - Dec. 28-31, 2012

Leslie and I joined Pam Rigor on her ONC trip to Black Butte.  We have been having heavy snow in the Cascades and Santiam Pass was packed snow but not too bad. 

The trip members were Pam Rigor and Bob Breivogel, Jim Edwards and Janice Morgan, Inga Fisher Williams, Patti Thompson, Cristel (Christian - 8 months) Brown and Leslie and me.

Saturday we drove to Ray Benson Sno-park and skied the North Loop up to the North Blowout Shelter.  The snow was excellent...deep and dry plus a beautiful blue sky.  After lunch and a warm up in the shelter we skied the Circle Lake trail to the Brandenburg Butte Shelter.  All in all, we did about 8.7 miles.

Sunday we drove to Camp Sherman and then skied along the Metolius River.  It was a bit icy but still a nice tour.  The Head of the Metolius view point was interesting.

Monday (New Year's Eve) we drove back to Sisters and then 10 miles south to the Three Creeks Lake Sno-park.  The conditions were still great and we skied to the Jeff View Shelter.
