Snowshoeing is fun!?!

Click here to view this hike in the summer.

So my second hike was a shoe shoeing summit, and my first time snowshoeing! I was so excited to snowshoe. I had wanted to try snowshoeing for a long time. The building manager where I work has brought photos to our office and I was just drooling. It looked like so much fun.

Snow shoeing is hard work! I wouldn’t recommend that anyone first shoe shoeing be anything with much elevation gain. Being the very ungraceful person that I am learning how to walk with giant things on my feet climbing up a hill at a 45 degree pitch was not the brightest idea. But I made it! After pulling my groin from having a foot slip down the hill and my planted leg stopping my fall. Ouch!

The view at the top was well worth it though. Looking out at our challenge for June was great.

The down hill was much more fun and scarier. The snow was a lot softer on the way down, everyone was having trouble staying on their feet, and I went down the final steep bit on my butt! That was fun, but only because I meant to got on my ass.

Shoe shoeing again sounds good, just not on a crazy hill!
