Steed Hut

Our annual winter trip to the Kootenays came and went with a successful trip to the Steed Hut area about 16km W of Nelson..

The sleepy town of Nelson at 7am.

We had 2 days of amazing stability where one could ski anything one wanted, it was sensational. Followed by two days of storm skiing which was nice and deep, we stuck to the trees the latter two days which was great. The last day we followed the straight lines of the GPS track we had guessed on taking us back to the car after 22KM, freezing rain and a good long day. We found a broken into and cleaned out car...bummer! Well, the trip was stellar all in all.
