Jeffery and Laurie and friends went up to Lassen National Park for an overnight in the snow on the slopes of Brokeoff Mountain, which is the 2nd highest peak in the Park, after Lassen itself; and which was once part of Mt. Tehama before it blew its stack. Laurie used cross-country skis and the rest of the guys used snowshoes to hike up to camp, and all around for the two days they spent on the very interesting mountain.

| the blue dot is from the ski area; it's the Easy trail marker |
