Winter Camp

Martin took a Friday and Saturday a few weeks ago to go winter camping with a few friends. Winter camping is one of those things you either think is a fun and exciting experience, or one that you wonder why in the world you're sleeping in an igloo when you have a comfortable bed only about an hour's drive away...

Of course, Martin is on the side that says this type of adventure is fun :).
Friday was spent hauling the stuff up and then building the igloos, eating supper, sitting around the fire, and then going to bed - though that didn't necessarily mean sleep for some :(.

Saturday was an absolutely beautiful, clear day - perfect for snowshoeing up Zoa. I hear it was a lot of work getting up (3 hours of climbing) which was rewarded by gorgeous views and then a fun 1-hour trip down.
