After months of dismal ice, crud and general suffering, the PNW (specifically mt. baker) reminded me why skiing is my favorite non curricular activity.

100 Miles of Glacier National Park
4 Days. 100 Miles. Team Khanabad Strikes Again. This was my first true hiking experience in Glacier (which is embarrassing as i am a native Montanan)...and it was truly glorious.
This trip gave me the opportunity to test out a few new pieces of gear including:
-GoLite Virga Jacket (rendered almost useless by hot day/nighttime temps)
-Gossamer Gear NightLite Pad, Torso Length (surprising comfortable)
-Big Agnes Pitchpine 40 Deg. 800 Fill Down Bag (very warm, cavernous, pad sleeve a great addition)
-BackpackingLight waterproof pack liner (very handy/useless as we saw few clouds, much less rain)
