Winter Play

Other winter play included an adventure to the Grouse Vista TH to snowshoe.  Although the road is probably totally clear and not enough to warrant snowshoes or even spikes now, this was an adventure just getting to the TH.  It was necessary to have a high clearance vehicle, big tires and even chains at times.  I was white-knuckled as I looked over the side of the road and considered the possibilities should we slide off the road.  A few obstacles needed to be removed on the way, but we were prepared. 
Skiing at Teacup Nordic near Mt. Hood was pretty nice (soon will be time for the annual Blind School Ski Day!) with the birds fighting for every scrap in my  hand.
An attempt at Dog Mountain in bad weather forced turn around due to very high winds and deep snow.
