Wednesday, 27 February 2013 - Winter sport of dog sledding and then visiting the ski slopes of Yellowstone Club for pictures, not skiing.
While everyone went off to ski Cal went on winter adventures.
Fan Mountain rises above the forest with a smooth sheet of snow.
Cal was off on a dog sledding adventure with these little pups. They seemed small to
carry a 220 pound man through the snow.
Ranger Cal on the trail - about halfway through the adventure.
The huskies were great pups - very happy to be pulling the sleds. Pretty blue eyes.
Another blue eyed husky panting from the sledding.
The dogs would pull the sleds with the snow kicking up and sticking to
their faces.
Cal riding the sled - one of the guides spent some time on the sled
to capture this picture.
The view from the sled to the team. The sled was easier to manage
than Cal thought with the dogs doing much of the work and following
the trail.
End of the trip and heaving petting for the tired pups.
The mountain range between Bozman and Big Sky
The Ski Lift house perched way up on the top of Lone Mountain.
Fan Mountain through the trees - so majestic with all the snow.
So many ways to cut across the slopes of Yellowstone Club, taken from the ski
lift far above all the skiers.
Lone Mountain - you can ski from the top following many different paths.
Lone Mountain on the left and the Spanish Peaks in the distance.
Lone Mountain - it is easy to see the ski lift house at the top of the mountain - but if
you really look close you can see all the ski trails carved in the hill.
The Montana mountains blanketed in snow from the top of Pioneer Mountain. I did not hike
to the top - but took a series of three ski lifts to take this picture.

We were lucky enough to stay here for a week.
A skier looks down slope before allowing gravity to take control.
Sign post on the Yellowstone Club slope - how skiers are supposed to read these signs and
make decisions as they hurl downward is beyond me. It is all I can do to stay
upright let alone make turning decisions as signs fly by.
