Dec. 27, Mt. Catherine

Favorite backyard ski tour.  Rode the chair up Hyak and skated out with Kelly and Scott.   Did an approach variation which may for a nice climb.  We were hampered by the low snow coverage.  Lots of large fallen trees made for interesting route finding.   Nice climb to the top followed by fairly thick snow(fluffy powder gone) and lots of small trees still poking out of snowpack.   Lot of climbing for short ski, but a good day out in the woods.
