I got my snowshoe too late for the November dump, but we finally got some snow again this week so I took my dad up Salmon Creek trail today. The trail is a nice wide one, with good fluffy snow, and snow covered trees all around us. We even had a bit of blue skies and a view of one of the mountains along the way. It was a much needed reminder of why I came to Alaska. Snowshoeing wasn't as hard as I expected. It's definitely easier to walk on snow than without, and mine were light enough that I hardly felt like anything was on my feet. I did trip over one foot or another a few times though. Being the trailblazer might have made it more difficult, but luckily couple people have been up on the trail before us and had somewhat of a path started. I think we had cleared it even more for the people behind us. Dad wasn't up for going the whole 2 miles one-way to the power house, but we did most of it. He'll probably take it easy tomorrow so I'll grab a fitter friend and try another trail hopefully.
