First snowshoe of the season: Black Mountain!

Last Sunday morning Remi and I decided to head out for a snowshoe.  We'd planned on going up Seymour, but they were getting some snow and had four cars in the ditches on the way up.  They were strongly urging winter tires or chains (neither of which we have), so we opted to head out to Cypress instead.
The weather wasn't fantastic, but a break in the clouds gave us a neat view of the city.
We had some company. Whiskey Jacks hoping we'd share our granola bars.
They're a cute little bird and must be pretty smart too!  They came out of nowhere once we arrived and pulled out our snacks!
The hike out is always more fun - and much faster!
We tooled around in the fresh snow on the way out.  Always more fun than following the trail.

Hope all is well with our readers leading up to the holiday season!

awesome pics, so cool how thse birds knew you had food, the last one flying away is what i think a grey jay, they read as friendly and visitors of many hikes for food. Can't beleive they would land on your hand though.
