Back to Catherine's on Veteran's Day

Craig W. and his daughter Candice got new BC ski gear and were ready to take their first tour. We met at the end of Little Cottonwood road and started hiking up toward the Catherine's area at about 2:20. I forgot to say that Frankie was with Craig and hiked with us for about an hour. He had to get back to meeting so he skied back just after we got past the top of the Albion lift. The weather provided foggy and cold conditions. Nothing too bad until we got to the top of the ridge above Catherine's Pass. Craig and Candice did super on their new gear. Craig had a little trouble with his binding releasing as we were hiking. We'll have to look into that. We skied the So Long run. It was pretty cut up but the snow was still light and soft. Craig and Candice have great skills when it comes to going down and they seemed to really be enjoying themselves. We were back to the cars and on our way down the canyon by 5. I hope we get another storm soon.
