Lolo Pass Snowshoe

Lolo Pass Winter Recreation Area, Clearwater National Forest, Idaho

A quick afternoon snowshoe trip with Geri Lynn and Cindy. Lots of snow although it was mostly overcast and pretty warm for winter conditions. A few breaks in the clouds let some blue through but they were few and far between. While the girls worked their way up the first hill I got ahead of them and was able to take some pics in the untracked snow. I was surprised at how much the snow had crystalized in the top several inches in the past few days. I think there will be a weak layer once we get some more snow. I am glad to know about this as I plan on getting back up here several more times this season.
After we finished hiking I got to try out my prototype of the "sled of doom" on the sled hill near the parking lot. The sled worked well but I have some significant improvements that still need to be made for durability. In the near future I will figure out how to add video to this blog and show how the sled works. Till then I will stay out in the hills enjoying the beauty of the area. Wish you were here.
