Day 3   5.26

Today we traveled from Pitchler's to Hans' Hut.  We had amazing weather going through Whiteout Pass.  We saw Mike Loso's group from a distance but they seemed engrossed in some lesson so we decided not to bother them.  Along the way, I tromped up Antarctic View and then sent out a bunch of SPOT O.K. messages from the top of Hut Peak (which I was able to skin up and ski down).  All in all, it was a glorious day!
