Everyone was excited to get out on the first official CONC ski of the season.  First, we had to demonstrate patience in the conga line of traffic headed to Mt Bachelor, but it was well worth it.  The sky was blue, the snow was soft, and we were all smiles as we started on our loop.  We even got to break trail on Crosscut and Flagline.  The snow was a little sticky in the sun, so we opted to avoid the Swampy Lakes meadow on our way to the shelter.  The fire was already going, so we had a warm spot for lunch, sharing it with some snowshoers who had as big smiles as we did.  Thanks for a great day!
