Snow Hike

Went on a snow hike last Sunday in preparation for next week's snow camp. Tried out my new gators, rain pants, and snow boots.  All worked well. Stayed warm, although it was a warm day so I kept peeling off a layer, then putting it back on when we sat for a spell.

We learned a few nifty techniques for traversing snow when going uphill and down.  Even tried out snow shoes for the first time. Pretty awesome.

Heading up in our snow gear

Now, on to snow camp next weekend.
