Snow Shoe

It's that time of the year again and the snow has fallen up at Apex. Currently the snow base is 105cm and it apparently grew over night with 9cm of new snow.



Yesterday, Bridget and I went for a snow shoe near Nickelplate Lake where we took the Snowflake Loop for a quick 1 hour hike. Overall i think we were well prepared for the hike with the only thing being that we were well over dressed with both us finding it pretty warm in our winter jackets. The only other thing we might do is add some survival equipment to our backpack, things such as matches and spare socks, things that would get us out of a sticky situation, if something ever did go wrong.

Have i also mentioned that i Love my Garmin Edge 500? Since i got it from my wonderful lovely girlfriend, Bridget, i have been using it nearly everyday to track my exercising. When it comes to workouts, i love details, things such as average speed, how far i've gone, how fast i'm going, how high i have climbed, how low i've descended and altitude. The Garmin edge yesterday told me that i was high. 6164 feet high to be exact.

Here is a picture of our new snow shoes that will hopefully give us many hours of fun hiking about and exploring new areas.
