A few additions to the previous post, which you'll see first since that's the way blogspot does it.

So we got out of the truck, and I saw the little kiosk with flyers pinned to it.  "Hey," I said.  "I bet there're maps of the park over there.  I'm gonna go check."  Vinnie took all of the following photos.  Notice that three out of four are at my expense.  That's what friends are for.

This photo is not a set up.  The snow next to the parking lot was frozen solid, and I walked across it.  The snow on the far side of the pile was considerably softer... and chest deep!  I had a heck of a time trying to get out of it.  Vinnie found it quite comical.   Speaking of things Vinnie cracked up over...

Lest my readers think that only Vinnie fell over.  This little fiasco started with a little hop over a hump of snow.  Again, notice how deep the snow was beside the trail!  We were on a hard packed snowy highway.

Digging into some trail mix after a 5 mile ski.  Need to refuel.
