Around Christmastime we got dumped on. So much snow!

the sidewalk in front of our street |
Deep snow makes snowshoeing fun!
|
The snow really was thigh deep. |
|
We didn't get very far after the point on the trail where we had to break trail. |
|
My truck was slip sliding around, but Mi Tia was rock solid. |
That was a rare January Saturday together. The next day, some girlfriends had a going away snowshoe for friend Stephanie.
|
Mary shows that there is a lot of snow. |
The uber deep powder was too fluffy to resist doing a backwards swan dive into.
|
Me, mid-dive!! |
|
Me, immediately post dive. My head was buried in the snow bank. |
|
Just popping up for air. I don't ever want to be in an avalanche! It was so fluffy and deep and I was head down and on my back with snow shoes on, I couldn't really move. Erika had to help me out of the snow bank. |
The next snow activity was termed "runking" by Sally. This is where you get to the top of a steep fresh slope and run down it with snowshoes on.
Here is a very short video of Sally "runking"

Erika runking. |
We topped off the day with lunch at Porcupine Pub. Good day - but sad to see Stephanie go.
The snow is fun to play in, but we are ready for a warm adventure. Stay tuned.
Looks like a blast! We've only had a dusting of snow this year. I need to get up to the mountains!
