Cedar Breaks Lodge during the winter.
The winter picture of the lodge was taken in March of 1949. I don’t know who is in the picture, but I skied over the lodge. I think that was the last year we had to ski across the mountain to take snow measurements. Those in the party that year, besides myself, were my brother-in-law Fenn Nelson, Dr. Farnsworth, Theron Ashcroft, and John Lewis. I don’t recall whether Chief Ranger Fred Fagergren went with us. There were three stations, one at Harris Flat, one at Duck Creek, and one at Cedar Breaks. The next year a snow cat was used for only a few years before they began keeping Scenic Route 14 open, but I don’t recall what year that happened.
