Skiied out to the Arestua Hut on Gwynn Mountain for a quick overnighter on Monday. Got to stop off and get a lap on the Lost Lake headwall in perfect spring corn conditions.
We casually made our way out to the hut as the sunny spring day was interupted by heavy snow showers. Beautiful Colorado spring time weather.
The hut is notoriously hard to find. I have been there four times before and I still could not remember exactly where it was.
Fired up the stove, got dinner ready and had a few libations before trying to sleep while the mice shot around the hut.
We woke up to about 10 inches of new snow. It was snowing hard and we had about a foot by the time we left the hut.
We got to the Lost Lake area and the there were about 50 mph winds. It was impossible to see the bowl so we opted to retreat to the resort and get some turns. We traversed in and found the lifts closed due to wind so we had to skin out to the cars
