Write Up:What a beautiful day! We met at the carpool at 7:15am this morning and made our usual stop at the Planet. We saw a moose walking on Hwy 40 and then 2 more moose as we turned off onto the Smith-Dorrien. We counted numerous animal tracks along the snow shoe trails. One other car was out there as early as we were but we never saw a soul until very late in the day. There was so much more powder compared to 2 weeks ago - it was so much fun running through the deep patches. Wouter tried out different snowshoes; we got to see Mike's fantastic extendable snowshoes, Wayne and Joanne had a blast, Tara enjoyed her first COC snowshoe, Andrea was primed for her snowshoe tomorrow, Corinne lucked out today as three people no-showed and she took a chance to meet us anyway, and Julia led the way for us crazies in the deep powder. We saw a coyote on the drive home, mountain goats, and perhaps cougar tracks behind the Elephant Rocks!
A great day, thanks for coming out!
