Snowwwwww! Fun to finally be in a Colorado - with seasons and easy accessibility to awesome areas and work that keeps me outside.
Pretty stellar hiking shared with two women from Denmark that had me questioning my fitness level. They were tough and I don't think I ever saw them winded even at near 11,000 feet. Maybe I should take up competitive team handball as well to stay in better shape...
We were using Kahtoola snowshoes that had a sweet feature that allows you to unclip from the shoe and walk with the crampon portion which was great for yesterday's conditions - post-holing up to my waist at times while breaking trail, even with the shoes... the return with some icy steepness a few miles from Heart Lake made it nice to just use the crampon portion... Nice to have the right gear for sure...
