Leader: Hattie Cui    Distance 6.5 km (see note)  Rating E/E (see note)

 Hattie's first lead and she did a fine job. It was a challenge to get through the deep snow, but Hattie had warned us after her pre-hike. All agreed it was (a) beautiful and (b) really hard going, every step being worth two on a normal trail. So we did not feel we were cheating when we turned back at about the halfway point. Hattie, thank you!

Unprecedented amounts of snow!

 

Nine snow bunnies turned out for this outing.
