Determined to get my Christmas photos done today, I packed up Santa and a little Christmas tree and made my way up to Mount Seymour in search of snow. Happily, there was no shortage of the white stuff! There was snow as far as the eye could see. Also, some fancy footwear on the mountain – there were a few tourists up there.

Even though there are free trails up on the mountain – I’ll find them in the future – I opted to buy a trail pass for $9. I thought it was a good idea since this was my first trip of the season. I thought it would be tough to get lost if I stayed in the park. Good call by me. Even though the parking lot was packed, there weren’t too many people on the snowshoe trails, that’s for sure. And it was very quiet…you could hear the hum of the tow-rope, but that was about it. Even with all the people around, it wasn’t noisy at all.
I picked a great day to go out, that’s for sure.

This afternoon I went up to Mount Seymour to meet my Australian pals to do some Christmas card photos for them. It was so misty up there that it made it impossible for any action shots. Ah boo! I must remember to leave an umbrella in the car for situations like this. It was scotch misting out, not good for the camera, so I had to be quick and kept my camera in a plastic bag.
Luckily for us, someone had made a dirty old snowman in the parking lot and we used him as a prop for the photoshoot. This is Charmy (her new nickname, which I absolutely love) moments before accidentally pushing the head off the snowman. That’s okay, though. His head was rebuilt along with another appendage, which I can’t show you because this is a family show.
I’m going to see THOSE photos to Charmy and Bec’s and Will’s moms. I can tell you that much.
But back to Mt. Seymour – it’s located on the North Shore and I had always considered it the “basic” ski hill. The last time I was up there (a very long time ago) there was only 1 or 2 buildings – not very built up at all. Now there’s a couple of restaurants, lots of buildings to warm up in and a special snowshoe area. Next time my mom and sister come up for a wintery visit, we’ll head up to the lovely Mount Seymour and get our snowshoeing on. It’s beautiful up there.
