More Snowshoeing

So snowshoeing has become my new winter pasttime. We have gone every Saturday for the last month. It started out with Meghan, Mel and I, but our group has grown. This last time we had some of Meghan's friends from hockey...Kate and Shelby as well as Shelby's mom, Lori.

The best part about snowshoeing are the "butt slides." It is hard work hiking to the top of the mountains, but sliding down is so much fun. We have found some really great runs where we pick up some serious speed!

This week we hiked up past Lake Mary, up Big Cottonwood Canyon. What a beautiful sight!
