We were greeted to an amazing snowshoe track and we wore our snowshoes to solidify the track. I did take them off on the decent of that steep section, Shay was leading and he is tied to my pack with a 10 ft lead, holy fly down the mountain, one tug and I was off to the races, I managed to miss all the trees and just eat some snow. I heel dig my way down after that, you don't have to believe me, but I heard Shay giggle. This went to Shays 4th round of the 52wav, Hopefully spring shows up soon, we have been out every week this winter and it's been a long one with the conditions out there. |
