A Snapshot and The Scoop: Snow Slide!


On the same day that I got lost while trying to summit Flattop Mountain I met up with a group of people who had also gotten lost.We stuck together from just before the summit, all the way back to the trail head and civilization. On our way down, having successfully navigated almost to the edge of the snowline we came across a drift that was taller than any of us, and there was only one way from the top down to the solid-packed trail. We took turns taking off our packs, tucking our trekking poles into our laps and sitting on our butts to slide down the side of the drift. It was so fun, a few of us scrambled back up to the top to do it again! Giggling like children, we left the area and headed out of the forest with wet butts and quite a story.
Leave a comment below and tell me about any impromptu playtime you had while on an adventure.
