During this last ski season, I got together with a group of old buddies to do some skiing in the Montpelier, ID area. We met up at our friend’s cabin, which is actually 30-40 miles outside of Montpelier, after we all drove in from Salt Lake City, Logan and Jackson. Upon arriving that late Friday night, the five of us quickly started organizing our gear so that we could get an early start in the morning.We had everything ready within an hour that night, leaving us some time to lounge outside next to a bonfire to soak up the stars and clean mountain air. We caught up with one another, told stories, and just enjoyed the company and location. It wasn’t until the clock struck 3 a.m. that we forced ourselves to go to bed. So much for an early start.
We woke up decently early considering how late we got to bed. We cooked ourselves a delicious breakfast, gathered the last bit of gear, and loaded up the trucks. We headed up the mountain pass for about 20 min from the cabin and found our spot to unload and gear up.
