Saturday. A beautiful morning, with sunshine on the Koryaksky top.
View from the cabin.
While waiting for the helicopter to come and pick us up, we're skiing near the cabin using our skinns to climb. Tomas, Morten and Ian.
Me skiing. The storm had filled a small bowl with snow that was quite soft and nice.
Up and down, up and down again. The Koryaksky volcano in the background.
Thomas.
Thomas.
Thomas.
Me.
Jennie is almost up at the top of the slope.
View from the top.
The Avachinsky top (alt. 2741 m.) as it looks from our cabin (at alt. 900 m.)
The helicopter finally arrives.
There's some problems with winds, fuel and agreements. We're playing cards while they're debating. Carpenters arrive on the latest scooter model to keep working on our cabin to make it slightly more habitable (but we're leaving it today, of course).
I had lots of time to do some more climbing and skiing before we could load the helicopter and fly back to the hotel.
The hotel pool with hot volcanic spring water was the obvious target for the whole frozen group. It was wonderful! Anders, Peter, Fredrik, Morten, Tomas, Thomas, Monika and soon Jennie.
