snowshoes

We spent a couple of days up in the mountains at a friends holiday home in the Teton valley. We went up there to enjoy the snow. Driving over the packed down, icy snow wasn't much fun but we got out into the new powdery snow and enjoyed the incredible fresh mountain air. We put on snow shoes and went out tramping. T was on nordic skis and got the hang of it pretty quickly. DH didn't need snow shoes with his size 11's and light body, but the rest of tried them out. It is amazing how you can walk over pretty deep snow without sinking in. A lovely relaxing time - now we are back in civilization and DH had trouble starting the car this morning and had to go over to Wal-Mart for jump leads - heigh ho!
