Snow Bowl Hut

On November 9th to November 10th, 9 scouts including myself loaded into a car and drove to the Tahoma trails system to start our journey. The ascent took about 3 hours, as some were falling behind during the climb. When we got there, there was some snow, and the Snow Bowl Hut looked very nice since it was rebuilt in 2012. We played lots of games, made dinner, and then went to sleep not too long after. Overall it was a nice trip, and everyone there enjoyed it.
