Burning Up Calories While Walking On Whipped Cream

The snow in the mountains in late November started me dreaming about snowshoe trekking.

I got so excited I went in the garage, dusted off my snowshoes, poles and hiking boots as I anticipated another huge snow year and sunny days so clear and bright that the bright light hurts my eyes as it reflects off the snow.

Mission Ridge’s Ski and Board Area brags about over 300 days of sunshine a year; I want to enjoy many of those days in the mountains on my snowshoes.

The joy of the sun and the quietness of my snowshoes is like walking in whip cream. In fact, there is an area off the Pipeline that I have named Whipped Cream Land.
