I bought Treyson a pair of Alpine Trekkers for his Birthday and we got to try them out today. Unfortunately the weather is rather inclement; we’re having a series of storms come in with pretty high snow levels (~8,000’). It was a mixture of rain, sleet and snow at the parking lot, but we gave it a go anyway. Once we got moving it wasn’t bad. Treyson did well on the climb.
It didn't hurt to have Yuki pulling on some of the climbs. We made it about 1,000 feet up and then he was done. The ski down was okay – about 3 – 4 inches of wet snow on a firm base. the views of the valley were interesting, with the clouds and all.
Trey really started getting the hang of it near the bottom, but then took a nasty fall that hurt his knees. I was worried he blew an ACL, but he’s running around now.
