We put our layers back on and ventured out for our first snowshoeing experience! The snow was now abundant enough at 1633 metres and we journeyed uphill smiling like children with a new toy at Christmas. Before we headed back to the van Mikaela guided us through correct use of the Avalanche Trio (something we became very familiar with over the trip); Transceivers to locate companions in an avalanche, probe to search and shovel to dig. Back at the hotel we thawed out with a sauna and an early night.
