Snowshoeing

Filed under: new experience — Kyle @ 21:49:27

Yumi did well showshoeing up Cypress Mountain. She made it most of the way without her ski poles. We were having so much fun we didn’t even notice it was past the time when we should turn back. On our way back we took a short-cut through the skiing hills instead of the snowshoe paths and got a bit lost, but we arrived in time to catch the 5:00pm bus. It was a 4 hour hike, we would’ve prefered a 3 hour version. The last hour was brutal, but we’d definately do it again. The base when we arrived was 29cm of fresh powder from the night before and it was snowing the entire time we were there. It was excellent!
