This Month in Yellowstone
Susan Chin - Canyon Village Activities

On February 9, Susan took a late afternoon ski trip to both rims of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. On the North Rim she stopped at Lookout point and on the South Rim she photographed the views from Artist Point. The column of mist from the Lower Falls was backlit creating a spectacular scene from both locations.
   
There were so many warm days this month that Susan spent far more time outside the warming hut than she spent inside. She explained that several of the sunny days felt like it was 60 degrees outside in the sun. The thermometer on the warming hut bears witness to that. While she was outside, she spent a lot of time talking and photographing snowmobile and snowcoach visitors.
   
On the afternoon of February 16, Susan discovered that she was the first person at Cascade Meadows since a recent heavy snow gave the meadow a fresh new covering. This series of photos will give you a glimpse of what it would be like to be the first skier on this "off the beaten track" ski trail.
