Hooked on Ice

 Headed in to Hooker Valley today to see if there was a skate on Hooker Lake.  Fabulous walk in.  Great sights and sounds.  Heard a couple of avalanches and saw the plume of one of them.  Hooker Lake looked amazing with lots of small bergs and tortured ice. Started out with the nordic skates but changed to hockey skates when I found smooth ice. A fun skate on such a varied surface and amazing to be among it. There was smooth ice further out but after testing it seemed to risky.  Was the second one there after another couple but after they left I had the place to myself for an hour or two before the walkers began arriving.  Left after the sun hit the ice.  Awesome time.
