the snowshoes are packed, and ready just in case I see some snow in the Canadian Rockies next week. I kind of hope that I see some in Waterton National Park
I keen keep the spare batteries close to my body, and my camera in the camera case until it has a chance to climatize.
I bring along an air blower, to blow off the camera if any snow falls on it.
The snow is dry where I live, so I'm not too worried about getting my gear wet.
I'll never (again) go for a hike without bringing along more water and food than I think I'll possibly go through
Plus a V8 juice, since it gives me a very quick energy boost (I must be lacking something contained in it in my diet
)
