The Snowshoeing Thread

[Unimog]

Anyone up for some shoeing with this storm coming in?

I'd be in for snowshoeing tonight. Tomorrow night I've got an overnighter with the young men and then off to Phoenix for the weekend. Not to hijack thread, but anyone know of cool trails/canyons close to Phoenix?

I'd be up for a strenuous trail tonight. I'm also up for an overnighter Friday night if anyone is feeling adventurous.

Steve, Just let me know when and where you are thinking. I brought my gear with me to work. Hopefully we can get others to join in.

How far do you want to go, and how long do you want to be out? I have time for up to 8 miles (which takes me about 5 hours).

Here are a few routes:

- 40 to 41 (the loop above tibble)

- pine hollow to the summit. Down to salamander flats to timpanookie. Take the road down from there.

- pine hollow to tibble (8 miles, 5 hours, beautiful, strenuous hike)

- Tibble Fork towards Granite Flats, then up to silver lake flats (keeping an eye on avalanche possibilities).

code for "don't bring Cedar"

I will see if I can make it.

I'm open to anything. I could be at the trailhead as early as 5. It would probably be nice to be done by 10.

I love hiking with cedar, I just need to make my lungs and heart work this time, I'm getting fat again. I honestly wasn't trying to weed anyone out. I forgot about kids with that comment.

I could be at the trailhead at 5 as well. I'd be happy to give you a ride if you'd like Eric (though we'd need another vehicle if we wanted to run the shuttle loop).

 

[sixstringsteve]

I can't make it. Sorry Eric.

 

[Unimog]

Too bad, Steve. Let me know if anyone else wants to go tonight.

Where is the best place locally to buy snowshoes for kids?

 

[sixstringsteve]

Sorry about that, I totally spaced the meeting.

 

[sixstringsteve]

OK, I'm back in. Let's do this Eric (and anyone else who is interested)

Supposedly Alta got 10" last night, but all it has done is rain and sleet in highland today.

I would be interested, but I am going to a Land Use meeting about Glen Canyon tonight at Su Casa. Maybe next time... I need to get out more!

 

[Unimog]

Great! You name the time and place.

 

[sixstringsteve]

how about 4:45 at my place?

I'll see you there. But lets get something going tomorrow or sat!

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm good for a hike on Saturday.

 

[Rock Taco]

How was the snow last night?

 

[sixstringsteve]

Not as good as expected, but still lots of fun for snowshoeing. I'd guess they had 2" at the bottom, and up to 5" toward the summit.

 

[Rock Taco]

Im up for something tomorrow early afternoon. or later.
