Snowshoe adventures...
Once there we checked in, and after a quick jaunt over to the ski area, returned to sit in front of the fire and wait for our guide.
I learned some important things on this little hike.
- snow shoes are one size fits all...and you better hope you're that size.
- some people can walk in them, some can run.
some can't do either...and you don't want to be behind them on the trek.
sometimes running down the hill is easier than walking.
it is possible for a tree to stay alive, even when lightening and a fire have eaten away the entire core.
- woodpeckers peck perfect rectangles.
- you can stay warm while treking through the forest...but once you're done you'll freeze your tuches off.
- it is possible to change back into jeans from your snow pants, in a car, without anyone seeing.
- this is a very COLD way to change your pants.
The last thing I learned? I like snowshoeing. Not sure I'd climb a mountain with them on, but I had a lot of fun.
***And now...for the winner of my contest. Genella! Genella, please email me at erin @ erineisenberg.net with your mailing address and I'll send out your prize. Congratulations!
