Our group of 6 hiked out to a snowy ridge in the barrens with a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape and the skies above.

We pitched our tents, dug out a fire-pit in the snow and made a wonderful dinner together.

Everyone made such amazing contributions to this trip that I can't even begin to recount them. Thank you to everyone for making this trip so wonderful. It was an amazing feeling to be out in such otherworldly environment under the stars on 3 feet of snow and -15 C but still feel warm and happy in the company of friends.
