Artist Point | New Years Eve

January 02, 2015

Weather permitting we do an annual snow camping trip every winter between Christmas and New Years, alternating between Paradise and Artist Point and this year it was Artist Point's turn. The pictures tell the story, and oh, what a story it was. Absolutely gorgeous wherever we turned our gaze.

I feel I should leave a disclaimer saying be careful out there. Snow can be dangerous, and people in this state die every winter in storms and avalanches. I don't recommend snow camping unless you are very well equipped and have experience dealing with the cold and snow conditions. In addition to avalanche danger, it's of course literally freezing. We put our mummy bags inside our double sleeping bag, and still sometimes get cold. Check the forecast and avalanche conditions at nwac.us before you go, and don't be hesitant to cancel plans if the risk is even considerable. The second day when we were returning the avalanche risk level had been raised from moderate to considerable, and we could hear avalanches on Shuksan and see evidence of snowballing on slopes.

Our adventure cat Hobbes was very happy to find a pile of sleeping bags airing out on "his" bed.
