For the snowshoe trip we first took two chair lifts up up and up.
It was a bit chilly but warmed up fast once we got moving!
All the new snow made for a gorgeous walk.
Some of the taller trees. Most of these are from after the mining. There are a few olders ones as well. Our guide was a naturalist and told us all kinds of things about beetles and hares and scat...
We came out onto a clearing and found some expert skiers going off piste down a very steep hill.
We stuck to snowshoeing...
More great views. We took a break for snack including chocolate.
I also found a swing!
Kerri jumped off the swing.
We enjoyed making some new trails of our own as well!
One of the girls on the tour went to EVMS and is now a resident at CHKD. Small world! She started med school just after I left.
In this building is the howitzer, a WWII cannon that is used to clear avalanche areas across the valley.
Some dying trees courtesy of porcupines. They are still pretty. Great day!
