Thursday, 31st. Jan

Only a brave few, brave?...it was a beautiful sunny day, no wind and great company! Anywhoo, only 5 turned out for the Intermediate...ohboy, it was intermediate, hike to Buckles and then around to North Nordic and back vie Westner Lake Trail. A solid 4 hours in great conditions. The hard crust had just enough snow on top to make snowshoes necessary. It was about -18c when we left and only -8c on return. Thx "Bearded"John for some of the pics.

The Yeti? A Sasquatch? The Abominable Snowman? No....just a rare shot of "Bearded" John!
