Yesterday Erik and I made the absolutely disastrous mistake of trying turn a quick morning sled-ski into and exploratory mission. Heres some insight into the good and the bad of how that went....

Really really stuck |
Today I was looking for something significantly more mellow, so we decided on
Marjorie Bowl on the north side of Lenawee Mountain just northeast of A-Basin ski area. I had never skied this little zone before and was very excited to finally check it out, its cool and quick and I will definitely be back there. The climb involves a quick skin from the upper A Basin parking lot to the bottom of the Marjorie and then a hike/skin up along the ridgeline.

For the last month every time we have gone out something has gone wrong, this time it was Grete's ski carry system that failed.
