Snowshoeing Windy Joe (Feb 4)
Last weekend we were able to meet Raj in the middle - he came from Penticton and us from Mission - at Manning Park. This time we chose to summit Windy Joe under sunny skies!
It was chilly so it didn't take Maggie very long to get some sweet beard icicles going.
I'm sure our parents will be very happy to know that we've finally invested in a GPS unit. We don't really know how to use it yet, but this hike was a good trial run for setting way-points and tracking our progress. It will be much more useful when we finally get the maps for it!
The summit was lovely! There's a fire look-out up there, so there's a little shack. We actually ran into a guy who was staying up there for a few nights! As Remi wants to try winter camping with a friend of ours, this would be a good place to try it out. If the igloo is a failure, at least they'll have the shack to sleep in.
And as usual, the descent is much more fun than the climb ;)
Until next time...

We used to ski at Manning Park every year in february....gorgeous snow and often sunny. I miss that. We started going there as part of "ski week" with Shawnigan Lake School. We combined nordic and alpine skiing during that week. Apparantly great hiking in the spring/summer too.
Enjoy!

ps Windy Joe's is the name of the pub at the Lodge!
GRRRRR!!!! Worst winter ever in Ontario!! Didn't snowshoe once and never stopped paddling all winter... Now it's like 25 or something outside, which is great, but I was kind of hoping for winter BEFORE spring.
Glad to see you're getting out lots this winter though!!
Cheers,
Aaron
