French Alps Snowshoeing: Day 2
The second day of the trip was a short day. [Day 1 photos, Day 3 photos, Day 4 photos] We always wore avalanche beacons, as we were mostly breaking trail on untouched snow. Our guide Lindsay spent part of the day teaching us how use them to find a person buried in an avalanche.
The weather was worlds apart from the day before, which meant we actually had views this time!
