Well, there were other things we probably should have been doing but with such a beautiful sunny day and so few snow days left, we decided to drive to one of our local mountains today, Cypress.
First we went for an hour long snowshoe. What a treat. We've been waiting for Spud to grow up enough to snowshoe. It's been a long time since he fit in a carrier on daddy's back.

He really did a great job and seemed to like it too.

Needless to say, there was a fair amount of rest time along the way.

All in all, a smashing day.
