    Apologies for all the sniffling, temps were about -15c in the morning and up to -6c by the afternoon. Sorry for the lower audio on this one. This trip was GoPro heavy footage and as you may know GoPros don't have great audio. Thanks for watching!

    There is nothing like the serenity when you stand still and listen to the silence out there. It centers the soul and you take it back with you to every day life.

    I really enjoyed this video and I always love seeing people enjoying our Crown lands.
    As it happens, Nate and I enjoyed a day on those Altai skis on Crown land the week before last. Those Altai Hok skis are such a great cross between snowshoes and back-country skis because one can travel faster (and so go farther) than on snowshoes, but they also permit one to negotiate through the woods with much greater ease than if one were wearing cross-country or back-country skis. I'm thinking about investing in a pair for my wife and I as we do a lot of winter hiking on Crown land.
    Great message and advice at the end of the video, by the way.
    Cheers,
    - Martin

      Hey Martin, thanks for dropping by! Yeah I saw your adventure with Nate on instagram, looked so awesome! Absolutely loved the Hoks, I told Nate I never want to snowshoe again, haha!
      My hubby and I are trying very hard to move more north, as right now we live in Southern On and winters/snow are basically non existent. So if we manage to move more north where there is real winter, I think we will definitely invest in a pair!
      Would love to explore with you guys sometime in the future!

He is an efficient eater not necessarily pretty but i must admit to laughing as i remember feeding my Natasha that way, thanks for that memory. My people are up on the Grand Mesa at 10,500' today snowshoeing around Mesa lake for 1.5 to 3 miles depending on how they feel. Currently they have a 164" or over 13.5 feet of snow base with 6 feet so far this month. I am not jealous because i got to see you, Grizz and friends in a beautiful place. Peace.

    I've done a fair amount of back country skiing. I did years ago and the skis are different. Mine are narrower but still a more larger shovel head that typical cross-country skis so that the skis rise to the top of the snow when pushing forward and not digging into it. First skier breaking trail was always toughest job that we took turns at. Developing a technique to do a sliding step, more like cross-country skier, takes a few trips but allows you to cover more ground in a short amount of time. Tele-mark down hill turning also takes practice versus the step turning. It look like fun.

    Great video as usual. Seeing Griz begging reminded me of Astro from the Jetsons cartoon. What do you think of the skishoes? Hoks. I bought a pair this winter and have mixed feelings. They don't do any one thing great. OK snowshoes, OK skis. I'm tempted to remove some of the hair on the bottom or try to find a way to make them glide better.
    Funny story. I was going threw thick brush with a heavy backpack and rifle on my back. I fell backwards. I was like a human turtle stuck on my back! I couldn't get up. My skis were stuck in the brush and I was in deep snow so I couldn't push myself up. Having a walking stick and going Viking berserk saved me, lol.
