Road tripping Yosemite in a winter storm

Buzzcut - great fun, great report. I got to get out again and soon! Snowshoeing is a blast. I bought my first set while living in Indiana while still in high school. back then they cost a lot as they were much less available and I remember thinking "am I am idiot spending all this money on snowshoes while I live in Indiana wishing for more snow? I still have that set of snowshoes....they've been through hell and repaired multiple times with zip ties, shoelaces etc. More than anything else I always loved hiking, and snowshoeing is essentially the same thing. TCLife, just go get some, strap 'em on and start walking like BUzzcut apparently did. Actually, it might be worth renting some first. There are a number of different kinds depending on your goals, but for regular hiking the main thing is the size, which is primarily dependent on your weight, how much load you are carrying and how deep/soft the snow is. I have one giant set for carrying a giant pack and/or downhill skis/boots and/or in deep fluffy snow and another set that is more for going packless or denser snow (like early summer hiking where you run into big dense snowdrifts.) Plus my antiques from high school about 30 years ago.

Great TR buzzcut! 1-2-3 GO!!!!! (and sorry about the injury!)
