Daniel wasn't feeling very well, so Paula Bridget and I decided to go up Grouse Mountain and use a couple of the complimentary passes for snowshoeing. We took the 4 minute ride up in the gondola, crossed over to the rental hut and each got a pair of snowshoes. They have aluminium frames that strap over your own shoes and have metal teeth under the ball of your foot. We headed off to the snowshoe park area and followed some of the trails. It was fun to walk on the fresh snow and not sink up to your knees. Bridget had fun climbing slopes and attempting to slide down, until she hit something and ended up with a bruised behind.
When we got back down the mount we went to have a look at the wolves. There are three wolves kept in a large enclosure underneath where the gondola passes. Two were white and one grey. One of them began howling as we watched. Beautiful looking fur.
