December 9 Snowshoeing on Top of the World

We began in a blizzard at the top of the Standish Lift, but once we got down into the trees it was a beautiful, snowy day!
Snowing the entire day!

Don't Fall!


Deep, new powder snow!

Taking a break on the island in Rock Isle Lake!

It was a perfect day of snowshoeing in Banff in the Sunshine Meadows. Not a breath of wind in the air and blue, blue skies!

A Fun Day of Snowshoeing at Sunshine


It's almost a Whiteout up here!

But we're having fun in the trees!


Can't see the mountains too well but I think there's a lake down there!


And the gondola ride back down is great!

"Walk in the Park."


"I think I'll sit down now"

First Snowshoe Trip of 2010 - January 2


It's a wonderful, wonderful, white world!


How to snowshoe down a steep hill:




That wasn't so hard!


Crossing Rock Isle Lake. It looks a little different in summer!


Depth of snow is now over 1.3 metres (5 ft)!


Snowshoeing on Top of the World on New Year's Eve 2009


When the trip begins near the top of a mountain you have to be prepared to any weather!


Overcast with lots of new fresh snow!
