Peter Estin Hut Suckkkaaaas

matt and jon melting snow on the wood burning stove in a huge pot so we could have water. behind that are 4 twin beds against the windows we used for lounging! in front of the girl taking the pic (miranda) are stairs leading down to the basement full of wood for burning.
mirands and anastasia upstairs on the beds we slept in. there were three in front of me, and i was sitting on another bank of three. there were also 2 rooms with 2 double beds in them.

christopher and erica at the table we ate many a good meal at (and made up more verses to the diarrhea song) (when you're sliding down a hill and you feel the need to dil diarrhea diarrhea)


the view from the hut



that really low cloud is not a cloud, it's snow!!!! suckkkaaa!





erica brought in eggs for us to dye! this was a fancy hut to hut trip!




liz and emilyat the false summit (we had about 200 feet to go). we snowshoed up this on the second day (after staying the first night in the hut). We were beat man. You can't see my feet/snowshoes b/c we had to make the trail right there.




liz at the flase summit! i could barely breath if you couldnt tell :).






emo resting while we were sledding






christopher waist deep in snow after crashing sledding down his favorite run (he was a little stuck at this point)...






sunrise from the hut second morning




sunset first night april 1st. gorgeous.





emily, her fiance matt, anastasia, and miranda.







liz and erica trekking up the hill. erica was pulling a sled with 4 liters of wine and 12 hard boiled eggs :).
It was amazing. Woo woo for Colorado. It took us 5.5 hours to get up and 2 hours to get down. The first thing we did after was stop and get french fries and milk shakes :).

Emily: RN from Pittsburg, PA
Matt: her fiance
Anastasia: in nursing school, but works as a tech, from russia

Liz, we are all mad at you because you get to go snowshoeing in the mountains and stay in a cabin and we are stuck here in Oklahoma where there's no mountains or snow!!! We miss you!! Don't you wish you were working tonight with us?!?! It looks like you work with cool people (but there's no way they are cooler than us!)

Love, Susanne, Audra, Jenny, Lance and Lettie
