Of course I wasn't quite prepared to see NO footprints at the trail head.
As it turned out the very first part of the trail had been walked on pretty well. But only for a short way.This is where you turn off the initial path on to the main South Crest Trail and as you can see on the right the initial path - walked on - the main trail - not a foot fall.
After just short way, this was what was waiting for us - 6 inches of untouched powder.
It was this way for the rest of our hike.
Lot's of fun.
Lot's of work!
Hiking though new snow is really slow. It took us twice as long as normal.
And it started to cloud up again and get windy so we cut it short and headed back.
Just as well because we were pretty tired once we got home.

We love the pics! "Glo in the snow"... she's the best!!! Glad you both had fun!!
Oh yeah... trekking through the snow is a lot of WORK! Maybe you should get some snow shoes!
I'm so glad you guys can go hiking again together, in all sorrts of weather. :)
that looks horrible.
So do you use snow shoes??
Terri-Joe - we really don't get that much snow and very, very, very rarely are the first ones on it so snow shoes would be a pretty big investment for very rare usage.
I don't like cold weather but I think I would like hiking in the snow. Plus I just got some snow boots!
