Annual Sherman Pass Cabin Trip

We are making it an annual tradition to go to a ski access only cabin for a weekend every winter. The cabin is near Sherman Pass, a 5,500 ft road pass.  It's about a 3 hour skin in to get to the cabin.  There's skiing along the way and all around the cabin. Mara and Adam joined us for the second year in a row and Kathy and Parker were newbies this year. Of course, Maggie came along too, though we didn't actually take her downhill skiing with us, her arthritis can't handle it.

Last year we had terrible snow, it was like skiing on stiff styrofoam. This year, we got lucky, it snowed the week before and while we were there too, making for great turns.  Of coarse, there was lot's of relaxing in the cabin during the evenings.  We may have to carry everything in on our backs, but that doesn't stop us eating gourmet.  Made from scratch pea soup with wraps one night, and vegetarian curry the next.

This video is fun, but I made it so of course I think so. It's a little long, 6 minutes. Make sure you have audio to really enjoy it.
