Ghost Ridge, Dec 29th

Most of the time, when we go snowshoeing, we get anywhere from some cloud cover and limited views to full grey skies with no views. On those days, we have to conform with trees, valley, creeks and the multitude of shapes that the snow makes. But every now and then we get a perfect blue sky day, that even with some patchy clouds here and there, makes the whole experience a complete different thing. This was one of those days. Certainly Ghost Ridge is a route I’ve done multiple times. Sometimes mixing it with Palmateer point and Devil’s Half Acre. This time the idea was to visit Palmateer Point as well but that spectacular weather didn’t last long and my route finding skills were a bit off. So even though the actual route as pointed is about 5 miles, we ended up doing almost 7. Nevertheless we got a real treat. Not only he snow was that perfect fluffy, soft white stuff that you sink in with every step but the views of the mountain and snow covered trees was outstanding. I’ll let the pictures do the talking now
