I recently hooked up with a few friends for a magnificent backcountry ice skate tour in Desolation Wilderness. Hiking and skating conditions were superb. You could not have ordered up better weather. Hanging out under the low January sun in the middle of a frozen lake with granite slabs in every direction and no one else around for miles was nothing short of magical. If this winter is handing us lemons, I think we concocted the sweetest possible lemonade.
Friday the 13th isn't that scary.

Looking at the ice is almost as cool as skating on it.
Hang time.
The tour from one lake to the next is as pleasant as the skating.
