Chris reserved the Clark Peak Yurt, one of the Neversummer Nordic Yurts for Memorial Day Weekend (and Chris' birthday). We went up for a fantastic weekend of spring corn skiing (and slogging), snowshoeing and enjoying the beauty of the mountains.
It's funny that, right when all of the resorts are shutting down, the Colorado snowpack is becoming safer and more fun! The spring backcounty snow is AWESOME! I'll focus on the baby stories here and let the ski video speak for itself.
It was a 1.5 mile trek into the yurt...so this was Evie's real first backcountry trip. I must say, the backcountry yurts and cabins are ideal for your first forays into the wilds with your little one. While I'm sure Evie is going to be fine in a tent this summer...it has been really nice to ease into having her with us outdoors by having a heated area where we can fumble with diapers, change clothes, etc. without worrying about her getting too chilled.
Evie is now much bigger and stronger. (It's amazing how much changed over two months!) I was much less worried about keeping her in bed with us (I was still a little worried). She slept between us and stayed warm even when the fire in the woodstove went out in the middle of the night. we brought one of our 0 degree bags and my homemade Rayway quilt. The sleeping bag stayed in the backpack the whole weekend..the quilt was plenty warm for us.
Still rocking the cloth diapers...I see zero need for disposables so far in the adventures we have had!
