The images below were taken today during my snowshoe hike with 5 friends.
The valley in the background is the Rhone valley east from Martigny.

I live in the first village in the valley you see on the left side of the Rhone.




I am the guy with the hat on the right.




We hiked along this path.



Just to show that I have also other hobbys, not only B4x.

Still amazing that these tennis racket like things spread the weight enough so that you don't step deep into the snow.

@coslad : where is that photo been taken?

You are also the most hardy, dressed in your plaid short sleeve shirt!

Nice to be able to put a face to a true inspiration and following of many.

Glad to see you enjoy the meaning of life (with true friends) - mother nature in her finest glory.

From those elevations (as everywhere on this planet) feed my fondest desire... clear flowing streams... filled with various trout species that I love to watch feed in their natural environment. Forgive me if I often tease them with a dry fly on the end of my line.

I think next year I shall remove the hook on my flies and be satisfied they actually went for my tied offering - no harm - no foul.
Lord knows I have tormented my fair share... and hopefully released them safely to feed again.

Thanks for your wonderful post.

Oh no. The oldest is 76, I am 71 and the others are younger, the two youngest are 65.
We hiked from an altitude of 1350m up to 1800m.
When I make some effort I am always hot, even in winter under the sun.
The picture was taken when we arived.

Yes I see it.. but how did you get there? I don't want to ask why, because after all, this is free country

@ilan: Did you see any snow in your young life so far?

PS: Snow = frozen water molecules stuck together as ice cristals falling from clouds (yes, really). For more Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

I have little memory.

But I have a sweet memory of my childhood. My sister and I are walking on a beach of Rome... on the snow, with a whole big box of chocolate desserts

The only one "real" (big) snowfall in Rome in my entire life.

Yes i had, i am from this planet and was not born on the moon

btw. when i was 8 years old i moved with my family to Austria (neighbor of germany) i lived there for about 14 years. this is also the reason why i speak german very well. Here in israel we also have snow (in jerusalem and north israel)

(i visited at Dec. 2014 my parents in vienna with my wife and 3 kids)

1979-1980 New Year eve in Germany.. just google for it.. I don't like to remember that night!
Temperature dropped more than 50o C in a few hours, from ~ +20 to -40
I had no way to watch the news because I didn't speak German, and one day I needed to go out buy food but all stores were closed,
no one walking or driving in the street.. only a few cars.. finally I saw a kiosk and it was open.. I went there only to find they sold icecream!
The kiosk was so warm so I started to eat it, but the store owner told me it's take out only.
