Looking across Cecret Lake to the Supreme lift
Devil's Castle - there were ski tracks in that chute
When we had been to Cecret Lake before, the wildflowers were glorious. We're still a little early - by a couple of weeks - so they hadn't popped out yet. And there's still a lot of snow, in the trees and up in the bowls. The day was gorgeous, clear and blue and sunny, with temperatures in the mid 60s up there (low 80s in the valley); there was a breeze, however, that was quite chilly as it crossed over the snow and lake ice.
Sugarloaf - where we traversed across and plummeted
down with the Maine skiers this spring
It was really quite fun picking out where we'd skied not three months before, although the cliffs are really a lot cliffy-er with no snow to soften them! After we got back to the parking lot, we each had a beer while gazing back into Alta's bowls and no matter how much he professes to love summer, I just know this little hike has completely whetted H's appetite for skiing.
