Flagstaff epic lake ski

We arrived at Flagstaff Hut Thursday 2/29/24 after a slick ski in. It was frigid and the trails were challenging. While this remained on Friday, we headed toward Dead River along the still icy trails. It would have been good if the trails had been skimmed with the groomer to atleast give us more edge, however we made it work. After a wonderful lunch in the sun along the flowing "Dead" River, we decided to turn onto the lake for the return trip to Flagstaff Hut. That was the best decision of the trip! Epic sunny skies and views were the backdrop to a fun ski along the ice and crusty edges, even allowing some of us to effectively skate-ski the edge. It was the perfect day and it was made all the better with cocoa, coffee and a delicious meal at the hut! We're glad we made the most of the daunting trail conditions.  Thank you to the staff!  Adam, Rachel and Shayna
