Snow is fun

Spent some time last Sunday snowshoeing around Mt. Rose Meadows with Ethel and her cousin Dude. Just a good excuse to get out for some low-cost fun on a sterling winter day in the Sierras.

Took the time to dig a snow pit for general knowledge's sake after the heavy snows we had. Nothing sketchy was to be discovered; our quickly stabilizing Sierra snowpack worked its magic like it usually does.

Here are a few pics from our little adventure.
