Going skiing wasn't in the cards this weekend, but we did manage to get out for a little hike in the snow. We drove to Alpental, a ski area about 45 minutes from Seattle at Snoqualmie Pass. They've already had a couple hundred inches of snow this year, and it was fun to trudge through it and enjoy a very wintry scene.
This was our dog Oliver's first real experience in the snow (with us at least), and he seemed to enjoy it a lot. The pictures are here.

Where are the snowshoes?
Snowshoes are for wimps. If a dog can plow through the snow in his bare feet, just wearing boots is enough for me.
How far did you make it without snow shoes?
Ironically, the last time I went to Alpental was to hike up to Snow Lake, and wasn't able to drive through the snow not far from the freeway. We turned back toward Seattle and hiked Talapus Lake instead.
