Storm hiking

Not the be confused with storm skiing (which is fun), storm hiking sort of blows, especially when the storm in question is dumping sideways rain on you that 15m higher up the mountains is snow. But that's what it was on Tuesday when Andrea and I took our friends Jen and Tasha, and Tasha's sister Kat (all visiting from Montana) up to Rabbit Lake.


We didn't even make it to the lake before turning around, everyone freezing and Jen on the border of hypothermia. But the Montana girls are tough and there was nary a peep about the weather out of any of them. In fact, I think Kat looked kind of disappointed that we were turning around. Here are three shots in the thirty seconds I exposed the camera to the elements.
