Solo backpacking in a snowstorm at Crater Lake National Park
WildernessBut, you did ski... which is better than not skiing. Looks amazing
that looks so peaceful, did you come across other folks backpacking as well? what kind of sleep system did you use for this and did it keep you comfortably warm?
Just one other group based on cars in the overnight lot! I just use a zero degree bag and an insulated sleeping pad. The low was only 25 so I was very warm.

This was an overnight, 7 mile ski tour / backpacking trip in Crater Lake National Park. In the winter, before anything is plowed, you can only enter at the southern entrance. You have to park at the visitor center if staying overnight, and then hike / snowshoe / skin up to the rim. I skinned up to the top, kept going until I was far enough away from any roads, then set up camp. Unfortunately the lake was socked in pretty much the entire time after I set up camp. Despite 3-5 inches of snow overnight, the skiing wasn't that great getting back to the car either.
