East Fork Bitterroot Cabin

Jolie and I rented the East Fork Bitteroot Guard Station for a weekend. So much snow that the forest service truck broke its plow and we had to drag our gear (on our backs and in a little plasti sled) and stuff 200+ yards to the cabin and then, since the plowed road was only one vehicle wide back it out for 3/4 mile to where the road was wide enough to park. On the way in we had to battle a snow storm, deer, elk (very very close) and a moose.  We had to repeat the process on the way out.  Great cabin once we got there. It snowed the entire time we were there - very lightly - but it never really stopped - about 3 inches per day.  Cabin has an oven so we were able to make some good meals inclued pizza from scratch.

One of the cutest forest service outhouses there is.  The inside is all whitewashed and very clean.

the snow was so light and no wind, it stuck even to nearly vertical skis that were left out overnight before a nice ski from the cabin up the east fork bitterroot trail - great Moose country but we didnt see any during the ski.

one very large icicle on the side of the cabin

the snow was very deep (there is that outhouse again)

on the way home, we skied at Mt. Haggin - it was 10 degrees at the parking lot and 40 degrees after we climbed several hundred feet due to an inversion
