Snowshoeing in winter can be an exciting and challenging experience. Fresh, deep snow, so lovely in the trees and on the mountains can be a struggle. With these conditions it’s best to have a large assortment of trail breakers. Thanks to Herm, there’s been a wonderful, almost weekly selection of short notice outings up the Mt. Baker Highway, this year. White Salmon Road has figures often but with exciting connections to viewpoints, Salmon Ridge Nordic Area, The White Salmon Lodge and various loops and alternatives. Conditions have varied widely sometimes hip deep fresh powder and other times fairly firm more moist snow. Many days were spectacular view days and others were, let’s just say “interesting.” Consistent throughout all these outings, everyone came away happy and eager to go again. Thanks for the great outings Herm, see you on another Short-Notice snowshoe soon.
