Best two hours of day on MDT

We had a great trail run on the Mountain Division Trail yesterday with the kids' 4-H ski club.

We introduced my co-worker Kate to the favorite hill.

The snowmobile traffic was light while we were out on the trails, which was great since we were a very big group yesterday.

We took at water break at Otter Pond ...

... and the kids indulged me with a group photo that including throwing snow. They do prefer their silly shots.

We found several ice fishing holes and turned around before looping around the whole pond. There was a little too much slush for my comfort and everyone was getting tired so we headed back to the Standish trail head.

By the time we returned to our cars the wind had kicked up and the snow started coming down again. We lucked out on the trail with the best couple of hours of the day.
