Winter Break 2023 Cross Country Skiing

 This year we decided to head to Snoqualmie Pass and Blewett Pass in the Cascades to cross country ski.  We spent time at Cabin Creek, Tronsen Basin and Crystal Springs.  We ended up with fresh snow which made skiing so much fun.  We even tried the black diamond at Cabin Creek this year because the snow was deep enough to make the route slower for us.  The trails were well groomed and very quiet, we only saw a few people the entire week.  We all had a great time and this year we got to see Scott fall twice when trying to show off.  We also spent time sledding at Hyak sno park and Discovery trail.
