Great Local Snowshoeing

Yup.  We all got sick of the snow.  

But there were upsides, if you're prepared to work a bit.  With my regular hiking mates we hit our usual North Shore trails that we climb year round, and simply bring snowshoes.  This pic is on the climb up to the top of Mount Fromme, the mountain to the east of Grouse.  (That's the east side of Grouse in the background.)

Unlike the groomed trails on Cypress, Grouse and Seymour, this is the way to go if you don't want to see other humans.  But be prepared!  It's going to take longer than you think...
