Snowshoeing!!!

I was roped into helping with snowshoeing at an Ernst Young EY extreme event on Saturday. Many hours of preparation, which I was not involved with, culminated in a one day event comprising of a dancing heads activity, outdoor musical relay and a snowshoeing challenge! If you have ever been snow shoeing before you will know that snow shoes, though very helpful when walking in the snow, are rather cumbersome. After five rounds of the course, four with snow shoes on, my legs began to feel it!
The teams had 13 challenges on the course and, as the weather go colder, will power to stay out in the cold palpably faded away!! When the sun was shining it was warm enough to be outdoors with merely a hoodie on. However, when the sun faded behind the mountain the temperature plummeted and a mad dash was made in search of warmer clothes!!
The day ended with a dinner and by watching a disastrous basketball game where BYU just could not keep up, despite many avid fans willing them on from the other side of the screen!!! All in all, a fabulous day had by all!!
