sunday snow shoe

sunday i strapped on the snowshoes again.  this time with my awesome wife christine.  we headed up to soverign lake in silver star to make some tracks.  took some new trails and some old ones.  it was -4 and foggy and a bit clear and totally awesome.   look.

snowshoe saturday at soverign lake

Christine and I haden't been out snowshoeing together yet this year. Today was the day to change that. before a planned rendezvous with some friends in Vernon, we hit up sovereign Lakes to strap the snowshoes on.

We've been here before, and this time we decided to try a new trail.  There was tons of snow, and at the high altitude it hung like polar bears to the trees.

christine.  yup, thats her alright.

We were pretty much the only other ones on the trails.  we say 1 dog and 2 people.  we said hi to the dog.

We finished just in time to make it to the Thai restaurant with perfect timing.  6 km of sweet sweet powder.  We'll have to try and get a few more in this season.

soverign lake snowshoe

with the truck dead in the driveway :( we had to find a cool place we could car to. turns out soverign lake nordic area up near silver star is that place. very car friendly. in a good way. not sure if it's worth the $10/ person to use the trails. the jury is still out on that. Regardless of the co$t, it was a fun day.

There was tons of snow. see... here is christine in it.



i grew this beard...

after walking past this tree

a weird hanging snow hole. not sure if that's the technical name?

these looked like polar bears climbing the trees. maybe not in the picture, but they did. if you squint, it might help you see it

it was a great day. we'll be back. maybe at night, when the paying place is closed. a good trail that had some good ups and downs, but not too crazy. we liked it.
