Black Lake Snowshoe with REI Staff on Feb 25, 2011

Late last month Jim Neville organized a rowdy crew of REI staff, family, and friends on a ten mile snowshoe hike to Black Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Turned out to be a blizzard; I couldn’t even see the Black Lake slabs from the middle of the lake (sorry, no conditions report!) but it was a strong crew and a good workout nonetheless. Cold temps, highs were in the single digits up high…and we broke trail through nearly two feet of fresh snow, with more every hour.
