The upside of the frequent extended periods of this



is that when it's all over we get a day like this.


So we saddle up and wander out.



On Saturday, this was a passable road to Summer Bay. After the blizzard of the last couple of days, it's now a perfect cross country trail, inaccessible by road due to a few serious snowdrifts.

Pax Rev always gets serious on these missions.



(Just like his parents.)



Here's some eagles and a cool pinnacle. Here they are up closer.

And the natural end result of any good cross-country ski mission, a walk on the beach.

We saw two foxes, and these little specks of what appear to be hairy mammals.

Wild horses!
