2nd week tues morning

in the second week of the winter isp we met up at the bottom of chair 7 at 9. we were split into groups the day before by picking what we wanted to do for the day. i chose, along with nate, morgan and jack to do the SNOW CAVE. we did a few evaluation runs to find a place to build our snow cave. for a proper snowcave you need 9 feet of snow thats hardpack. we found just about that at the top of chair 12. for about 1.5 hours we slaved away using 2 shovels and an ice axe. because me and jack picked the perfect spot and we worked our behinds off, we were able to create a huge cave able to sleep 4 people. with time to spare we connected our with nates and morgans who had a bit of trouble with trees inside the cave.
