Went on a last minute skate skiing hut trip with Sam, Seth, and the Seattle crew this March. We got great weather, got some skating in, and had a great time exploring a new area for me.

Day 1 - To Cassal Hut
 |
| We flew into SEA, got picked up, and took off through Leavenworth to Winthrop, WA |
 |
| Here's Sam and Seth looking up on YouTube how to skate ski. |
 |
| stopped at a yummy bakery on our way. |
 |
| at the trailhead, the snowmo was ready to shuttle our gear to the hut. |
 |
| Upon arrival, Sam checking out the map on our picnic table after cracking open a few brews. |
 |
| Small, but cozy |
 |
| I thought it was lovely |
 |
| Nice view of the sunset |
Day 2:
 |
| Damage from last night of playing games... |
 |
| We skated into to "town" (Mazama), where the town is snow covered in the winter and you have to snowmo, fat bike, or skate into the house. |
 |
| Pretty fun spot with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and hotels. |
 |
| And even a Free Library |
 |
| Breakfast of champs! |
 |
| Legit bakery |
 |
| Checking out the town |
 |
| Group shot on the bridge |
 |
| Afterwards, I went on another skate to check out another hut. This one had fat bikers! |
 |
| Had a nice fire outside and so we played around with some steel wool |
Day 3: out
 |
| The crew! |
 |
| Went to another hut on our way out to check out most of them. They were all very comparable. The shuttle service is pretty awesome and they'll take all your gear down too! So you can skate with just a water bottle all day! |
 |
| Sweet poopers, egh? |
 |
| Kinda wondering why I'm skating... |
 |
| Lunch at the trailhead |
 |
| back on the road and checking out the animal crossings over the interstate. |
 |
| Checked out Seth's big pimpin' house when we dropped him off. |
 |
| Ciao Seattle! You are lovely. |
