The Expanse of Lake Tawayik, Elk Island National Park

Album Notes
When there's snow all about you can choose to stay in, or you can choose to go out. When you go out there is a tendency to fall in. After one weekend of wandering around Elk Island National Park with hikers on and sinking knee deep into snow, I decided to try this thing called "snowshoeing".
I imagined I would have tennis rackets strapped to my feet. Instead what I rented from Mountain Equipment Coop looked more like small squat skis. More importantly though, they are fun. One weekend my friend Julian Karst and I conquered Lake Tawayik in Elk Island National Park. The next weekend, Eddie, Melissa and Japanese student Miyuki joined me to jump down slopes in Lake Louise.
