Snowshoeing with Friends

It seems I have found a way to upload photos once again.

So I have a Japanese coworker and last month I took her and her brothers snowshoeing (the ranger had to work but met us for lunch afterward). We had a blast!

Turns out they are avid skiers and snowboarders in Japan, but hadn't had the chance to do much here. They were perfectly comfortable with everything. When I hiked with the teachers last fall and encouraged folks to go ahead and not worry about me, nobody really went ahead. When I made the same invitation to these guys, off they went! I just told them to not go past the 1.5 mile mark and it all worked out beautifully. They are such great folks! Now we just need more snow...
