Tree Skiing (Spring Break - 2014)

Tree skiing: skiing around trees, skiing through trees, skiing up trees.  Worst 'shwack of my life.  We thought we'd be in Pemberton right now, but we're soaking wet and bivied in the rain.  I ate the last of my oatmeal for dinner.  All is well though, and everybody remained positive throughout the day.  I think the VERY vague route description was written when there was actually a clear cut.  Now there is a dense forest.  We finally found our exit logging road (thank God!) late this evening and decided it didn't make sense to carry on as it was already getting dark and we were cold and tired.  We had snow, sleet, and hard rain throughout the day.... terrible conditions for bushwacking.  Planning to get up early and stumble the rest of the way out to Pemberton.  HUGE thanks to Jerry for the peanut butter-nutella-cookie crumble mix which saved me this afternoon!
