Snowshoeing Blacksmith Ridge

Some people spend their time trying to add years to their life. I'd rather spend time adding life to my years. So on a largely overcast and snowy Saturday, our mountain gang headed out to Kananaskis, and snowshoed our way up through endless forest, breaking trail in deep powdery snow for four hours to summit Blacksmith Ridge. Cold wind, unexpected tree well hazards, and flat light aside, we celebrated with beers and shenanigans atop this minor 2400m ridgetop. Having the summit (and largely the entire mountain) to ourselves was just an added bonus.
