The rapids near the airport
We became reverse Snowbirds this fall,
returning just as it began to snow. It has been a beautiful November for outdoor winter activity, with enough snow that we have been able to do a great deal of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
This afternoon I snowshoed down to the rapids across from the airport. It was another bright sunny day with a temperature about -15 C and almost no wind. Although most of the North Saskatchewan River is frozen, it isn’t very solid yet. It was a bit nervewracking to walk on the ice (right by the shore though, so I did feel safe) and occasionally hear the ice crack.
