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!

"Most fun I had on my vacation!"

"Walk in the Park."

"I think I'll sit down now"

"Exceeded our expectations."

Flying on top of the world

Crystal clear sky

Mt Assiniboine with a halo.

This must be Snowshoe hare on a mission!

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!

Christmas Eve snowshoeing at the Sunshine Meadows, Banff

Minutes away from the ski area - and no one to be seen for miles!

What began as a cloudy day becomes a blue sky day on the continental divide.

Easy walking on a solid layer of snow.

Late afternoon sun in December.

Hot chocolate break on a temporary snow bench.

Late afternoon shadows as we head back to the ski area.
