Sometimes you find the lady dancing and sometimes she hides behind clouds and snow. Good times chasing lady aurora, even if she was elusive tonight.
  
Someone asked why we went, since the forecast was for snow and extreme cold. Normally those two things are not supposed to happen together, but The ovation looked good and the KP forecast was positive.
We actually saw stars when we first got up there, but they played hide and seek for the entire time we were up there.
I’m not sure why the others went, but I consider it a good learning experience:
1 I learned where Skiland is!
2) I tested my striped face mask. Talking through it is tricky, but it works and today my face does not have evidence of cold burn.
3) I tested the hand warmers with the new inner liners with success!
4) I tested hand warmers in my boots. Not so much success, but it gave me some ideas and I’m going to try something else next time.
5) I learned the standard 50mm lens my Sony came with is not great at finding or focusing on stars so personally I’m content with the lack of aurora during this adventure. I’m excited for my new lens to get here!
