MTTA High Hut and Snow Bowl Hut - 4.14.2010
A foot of snow at the second sno-park... from Whittaker's Bunkhouse in Ashford, drive 2.4 miles east on State Route 706... turn right on Kernahan Road... drive 1.4 miles to Paradise Estates... then follow the brown signs for 6.3 miles to the first MTTA sno-park.

Starting from the second sno-park (3000') gave me the opportunity to ski to both the High Hut and the Snow Bowl Hut.
