When we reached the lake it began to Blizzard anad got super cold..hience no pics cuz way to cold!) we did practice some self arrests tho, always good to know how to use your ICE AXE!!!! I didnt believe ice axe's had a real point beyond looking cool...whew I learned when I tripped and found myself sliding down the snow field of St. Mary's when I stabled myself and dug that axe in the snow to stop me. I did complain a lot but lucky for me the boys turned me out ;) and the self arrest was the best part...aside from the after hiking beer at Tommy Knockers.
Snow shoes: They suck! I am kinda goofy footed so my snow shoes werent always staight when walking...causing me to lay them ontop eachother when stepping...thwap! face deep into the snow. I did this atleast 20 times and snow was everywhere...like sand!
I was beat to the bone afterwards and sad thing was we only did about 2miles ROUND TRIP...HA...14ners got some time...
