Gold Creek - Snoqualmie Pass, 1/1/10
A simple way to ring in the New Year - snowshoe with friends at one of the few places we'd be guaranteed snow. We brought along a few newbies (friends who had not yet snowshoed) to show them the ropes. We didn't plan a long day, just long enough for our friends to get out and try a new sport.
The road started out crowded with other snowshoers and many young sledders. After getting the feel for the shoes, we had our friends treading through fresh snow - making their own trails, something I thinks is the most fun of snowshoeing.
And all too soon it was over, but warm drinks & hot food afterward just sealed our friendship and desire to head out again.
