New Snow + New Snowshoes =

If you’ve ever experienced a Vermont winter, I’m sure you would agree that Vermont certainly doesn’t shortchange you on the snow! Although the snow is not so enjoyable while constantly digging the car out, scraping windows, shoveling driveways, or bundling up just to take the trash out, it certainly can be enjoyable in other ways! So in the spirit of enjoyment, we took advantage of the 15+ inches of new snow that fell this week and strapped on our new snowshoes. Luckily, we didn’t have to go far for some backwoods snowshoeing adventure, as we basically have a forest in our backyard!rickssnowshoes.jpg

Off trail. Uphill. Downhill. Strap ’em on and get a-hikin’! Isn’t she cute? That’s my little snowbunny!

What better way to make your wife scream than to take a few steps out onto the ice of a partially frozen stream. It was solid where I was standing, but underneath my left pole…that was another story…he he he!
