Door to Sky One Ski Resort. We&#8217;ve seen this symbol elsewhere too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sky One Ski Resort is clean, but a little bit rugged. Walking from the car requires postholing for a couple hundred feet. And it&#8217;s cold here. Like most hotels in the area, insulation is poor, double paned windows don&#8217;t exist, and there&#8217;s no central heating. I&#8217;ve had two electric resistance heaters cranked for the past 8 hours and my room is in the low 50s. I am sleeping in my 15 deg bag in thermals w\/ a hat on. On the bright side we were able to order excellent Indian fare from the chef downstairs. Selections were limited because a landslide down valley has prevented a large food truck delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timbo and I wolfed down our meal. It was sort of like winter camping without having to prep the meal and do the dishes. I was too cold to photograph the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow the aim is to get up to about 3350 m (11k ft) on Pataslu and get our first day of measurements. That&#8217;ll let us scout of the route for a real ski ascent and descent if we have time and weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"854\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan-854x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan-854x1024.png 854w, https:\/\/old.snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan-250x300.png 250w, https:\/\/old.snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan-768x921.png 768w, https:\/\/old.snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan-624x748.png 624w, https:\/\/old.snow.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pataslu-plan.png 1384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Try to get some measurements around 11k on Patsaslu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bgn3Xoqy2Sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Cars jammed into snowpacks on the side of the road for miles.
