Blizzard During Ontario Snowshoeing Adventure

in winter •  7 years ago 

Welcome to my snowshoeing adventure! The snow was fresh and undisturbed, super deep and still falling!

I have arrived! Driving here was wicked, it was a super long and wide road that had a lot of snow on it. The new snow tires I put on are definitely worth it! As I park and I can already see where I want to go, straight up!

They grip well with the metal claws, I can climb very steep.

My heart is already pounding, I basically sprinted up the hill I was so excited. My body already feels better, I use the polls to twist myself around to get the back crack of the century. Ready to move on!

My car in the distance, about to disappear now. Hope I didn't forget anything.

Much of this equipment I stumble upon looks to be long abandoned.

I appear to be on the expert trail, this trail is 9 km long. Not sure if I'm up for 9 km after 1 hill.

I feel very warm all things considered, it is approx -12 Celsius. I don't want to be too warm and sweat, seems good.

This video I made for fun. The weather suddenly turned and now it was much colder and snowing hard.

I found this cool old truck in the middle of nowhere. Nothing else is around it, very odd.

All the snow is undisturbed so I can see every critters movement patterns.

A grand opening in the tree line, it seems very inviting as I approach it.

This was a beautiful path I went down, the snow was up to 60 cm and it was all downhill. On the way I heard many strange animal calls I've never heard before.

Dang looks cold!! I understand the desire to use new equipment...boys dont grow up LOL.
At first I thought that one tree you took a pic of had little red birds on it...I was like...they are tough!! Then realized my mistake.
Have fun exploring!

It's nice to see that you are defying the cold and venture outdoors. Winter has its own charm.
