There's no snow in New York, which irks me. I'm heading there in a week and a half, and at this point it looks certain I'll be hiking on microspikes and not snowshoes. I like snowshoes. The trails are so smooth and pleasant when all the bumps and jagged bits are buried under snow. I have the last week of the year off, so I may go back then in the hopes winter finally arrives. I took my winter pack hiking locally on Sunday, and it went well. Eleven miles and 1300' total ascent. My trip will have a 15 mile day with 4500' ascent, but this is a start. On Thanksgiving I also ran my fastest two mile run in ten years. 7:53/mile on a very flat route.
