About once a semester I make it out of town on a weekend for a hike or other outing—this time it was snow-shoeing! Thanks to friends loaning me snowshoes and offering to drive, a group of us spent the afternoon hiking Dog Mountain at Mount Seymour just over in North Vancouver. It was an entire forest of the deepest most enormous snowdrifts I have ever seen...at times we casually walked past treetops. The lookout point was a wonderful mountain panorama in one direction, and in the other: the city, waterways, and islands in the hazy distance. It was a great experience, and the most perfect day for it!
