Enough snow to ski in! Very cold at night. The cabin is all open underneath, so it takes a bit with that tiny stove to get things warmed up, even with leftover heat from the previous guests. The new stove doesn't have a damper (?) and the wood is dense, but once you get a really hot bed of coals, it's toasty. Caught one mouse, but the cabin was very clean. Laid fresh tracks on a long ski and enjoyed our time in the woods!

May Creek cabin is a special place and I always look forward to coming back the next year. I am glad to see that people are taking care of this unique structure. Trees burned by the Trail Creek fire are starting to fall in the upper May Creek drainage and make skiing up the drainage challenging.

Previous occupants did a fabulous job cleaning!! Stove takes a while to heat up-would recommend bringing newspapers, etc. Log bridge at first creek crossing is a bit dicey until it freezes. In spite of the fires, it had been pretty well bucked out. With many more wind blown/downfall trees, this may be a difficult ski this year.
