ROUGH time. Haus came to town, and we decided to take him to the Maiden Peak ski shelter, but not before having a relaxing beer at Brewers Union and burgers at the 58 drive-in (excellent). Didn't embark on the 'shoe 'til about 7:45pm.

For some reason both Callie and I thought it'd take an hour-and-a-half, MAYBE two. But the snow was brutal -- slushy, icy crap.

It took FOREVER and was brutally hard. And with a beer in the system, I was in no mood to "work", but after an hour of misery, the reality set in that this would a legit effort, and after that, it was doable.

Max was an utter champ - generally not at all in shape, but he's so tough that he made it.

Got to the cabin over 3hrs later! Wow, tough! Had the cabin to ourselves. Made a nice fire and had some celebratory beers!
