    Video: Mt Shortoff in the Snow

    Another video for your viewing pleasure. Mike and I ran up to Shortoff Mountain in the Linville Gorge this past weekend (Dec 9 -10) to play in the snow for a night. Winter is hands down my favorite time of the year in the Gorge.

    Shortoff and the Gorge look beautiful blanked in snow. Great trip report and putting together the vid.

    Real nice with that sun peeking out! Did you do ok without snow pants or gaiters? That wet snow looks like trouble.

    I was okay without gaiters. However, I did find the bottom of my pants legs a little iced over that morning, whereas Mike (who always wears gaiters) didn't have any ice at all on his pants legs.

    Wow, that gorge looks beautiful blanketed like that. Was it hard getting up the trail in snow that deep? It looked like the trail had been blazed in a few of the shots. Thanks for taking us along on your winter adventure.

    Henson,
    Which Frogg Toggs jacket was that you were wearing? Is it the Ultra Lite version?

    It wasn't bad at all. The snow wasn't that deep along the trail. It wasn't until we got up to Camp Shortoff that the snow got to around 8 inches.

    Yes, we are using the UltraLite II version.
