During the winter break, we took a trip to Lake Wenatchee to spend a couple of days in the snow. Our family friend, Dale Partna, was nice enough to let us stay in his cabin for two nights after Christmas and we had a blast in the snow. One afternoon, Mia and I went scouting on snowshoes to find the Wenatchee River from Dale's cabin. On a previous visit, Dale took us on snowmobiles to a spot along the river, but Mia and I are pretty sure that we didn't follow the same path, based on the fact that we did some serious cross-country snowshoeing, including a couple of episodes with tree wells. Fortunately, we had each other to help out of the wells, and the snow was only a few feet deep, so we never got into any truly sticky situations. You can see from the speed profile below, where we got bogged down going across country, while towards the end, we got so comfortable in the snowshoes and terrain that we practically raced back to the cabin.
