Season's First Skiers Through the Banadad

Four members of the Haley family from Fayetteville Georgia were the first to ski the entire Banadad this ski season. Starting at the Banadad’s western trailhead on January 21 the family skied the 12 kilometers to the Croft Yurt where they spent the night. The next day the family skied the trail’s eastern end to the Tall Pine Yurt. The trail grooming was only marginal at best due limited snow conditions- but according to the Haley’s, “the trail was ski able” and they did have a great time.

Two other parties of skiers, one from Aitkin Minnesota and the other from Colorado, followed the Haley family on the trail over the past two days.
