 departed Hayward, WI in our new and much improved van for West Yellowstone, Montana. Clear roadways allowed us to easily make eastern Montana on the first day and we comfortably arrived in West Yellowstone in the afternoon on the 15th. </p>
<p>Snow or the lack there of, was the major topic of discussion for the first days in West Yellowstone. We had been forewarned and therefore brought rollerskis along. There were shades of optimism with white in the hills above West Yellowstone and icy patches on the roadways from a recent overnight snow. The morning of the 16th brought further encouragement with another inch or two of overnight snows.</p>
<p><b>November 16</b><br />
We made the trek up to the higher elevations above the Rendezvous Trails (locally known as the plateau). The new snow provided an opportunity for ungroomed classic skiing. There was no base, so rock skis were necessary.</p>
