Olallie Lake, So much snow!

John and I spent the weekend camping at Skyline SnoPark and snowmobiling to Olallie Lake. We brought John's camper this trip. It is about a 34 mile snowmobile ride to Olalllie Lake from Skyline SnoPark.

There was still plenty of parking when we arrived Saturday morning. After we parked and got situated, we unloaded the snowmobiles, and headed off towards Olallie Lake. The weather was mostly cloudy with snow flurries.

   

We made a short detour to ride a bit along the power transmission lines. This was our first time riding under them and we didn't realize how loud they were here. Unfortunately visibility was next to nothing, so we didn't meander long before heading back on our way to Olallie Lake.

   

The snow was great today. Lots of powder and tons of snow period. What a great winter.

   

Olallie Lake was as beautiful as ever. The snow was so high I could walk right up onto the roofs at the resort. I love it.
