Reminds me of a weekend ski trip to a hut on Rainier just after I got married. We left seattle after work and skied in under the light of a full moon. Memorable weekend.
It was a surprise to me the first time I skied up next to one of those fluffy, snow covered trees and tried to grab a limb. The stuff was as hard as stone. Rock solid ice.
