Snowshoeing- Beauty & broken boot

[shootingstar]

This past Christmas, I managed to do 3 different snowshoeing trips each day in Lake Louise, Canadian Rockies.

Then my right snowshoe boot broke across the foot, rendering the boot to duct-tape repair for walkability. But not for snowshoeing. So last 2 days, no snowshoeing for me. He went off on his own and enjoy lovely sights.

So, I don't need to tell this to cyclists but: whenever you go on vacation that involves a sport, make each day count and enjoy it. You never know when equipment fails, get an injury (thankfully I haven't had this problem yet), etc.

Note: I couldn't find appropriate deep cold weather boots for snowshoeing at the only sports store here. Seems like they stock boots for fashionable snowbunnies, not harder core trekking in the winter mountains. So, it's another long search for the right boots to replace when got broken. Sigh.

Scenery: Just gorgeous lush snow draping all over the forests and deep snow.
