Rock Canyon - Snowshoeing


My folks got me my first pair of snowshoes for Christmas.... unfortunately, they were the wrong size! No problem, while I wait for the new ones to arrive, I rented a pair from the rental shop on campus and headed up Rock Canyon with Rand Blair (MBA classmate).


It was my first time snowshoeing and I showed my amateur behavior by putting the shoes on wrong for more than half of the hike. Basically, I strapped my feet in too far forward and my toes, hitting the front of the shoe, were keeping the binding from swiveling as I took steps. I felt kind of stupid but at least I know how it works now! Besides, with a beautiful day like this it is hard to have it spoiled.
