too much snow for skiing

the new snow is great but when it comes to the misery sticks, too much of it puts too much emphasis on the misery part of the equation.

mrs. dr. and i really don't do the x-mas present exchange anymore, opting to make donations instead. however, we did buy ourselves some snowshoes this last week to give us another outdoor option when we get too much snow, or the temperature gets to cold. i guess you might call them seasonal gifts, i like to think of them as another way to stay active, a nice thing about living near assiniboine park and the river is there is always an option to go for a quick stomp through the snow. last night mrs. dr. tried it for the first time and had a great time, because it is snowing again today it looks like we'll go for another walk tonight.

if anybody want's to give it a try please let me know and we'll be glad to let you borrow them.
