Hiking in the snow

A few years ago for Christmas Matt got me a pair of snowshoes.  We picked some up for him not long after that, but then we never went snowshoeing.  Somehow weekends in the winter were always too busy or there wasn't enough snow.  Whatever the reason, we just never went.

I was determined that we were going to go out and have some winter fun this year.  So we found a perfect weekend where there was snow and we had some spare time.  We hopped in the car and drove up to Snow Basin to get our snowshoe on.

It was a crowded day so we were parked at a parking lot a bit farther from the resort.  We decided to just set off from the parking lot and head across some fields.  It was actually a lot of fun!  The ground was a bit crunchy, with a frozen layer on top and the soft stuff under.  We crunched along and had a great time.  We found lots of other people walking around and were able to chat with them a little.  What a beautiful day!
