In Search of Snow

Last Saturday we set out for a winter adventure.  There was no snow in the valley but we assumed the canyon would be plenty snowy.  In fact we had to drive clear up the tippy top of Big Cottonwood to find any snow, and the snow was crusted over from rain.  But it was fun and in the end we found enough to take advantage of.

The adventure begins (I love how I told Clara to lean in and so she leaned out):

We strapped on our snowshoes:

Then we headed up a hill:

It was quite a climb:

 But Tucker made it:

Followed by Rob and Lu (Rob's fancy snowshoes give you a feeling for 

pitch of the slope.  It was a good workout):

Coming down was much easier and funner:

Clara wanted in on the action:

Todd, Court, and Lu admired the frozen over lake:

Todd admired it so much he decided to climb on:

It was so fun and it was BEAUTIFUL.  I love the mountains in every season:
