Snowshoe Friday .... finally!

 Winter has returned again and there was a perfect amount of snow to do a neighborhood snowshoe.   It was cold too ,  -11C ...not that -11C is all that cold but we just haven't had much in the way of really cold weather this year.   This outing was a bit of a dry run for an upcoming Mt. Tremblant Snowshoe,  its usually frigid there.   Wore merino wool socks ,  used toe warmers then my gortex trail shoes.   Legs were wrapped in tights then a non breathable water proof cycling pants.   Up top was a base of the Mazino breath thermal compression shirt then over top was a merino wool 2/3 zip top and finished off the layering with a shell.   Got a little warm quickly ,  unzipped the shell ,  wool shit and breath thermal as well as removed the hat but used a buff  as ear muffs and a sweat band.   Achived a somewhat comfortable equilibrium .... just a little bit of sweat.    Cool it down 5 degrees or add a breeze and I would have been comfortable.   

 Was aiming for a 5Kish outing ,  didn't look at the Garmin and came in at 5.5 km...I was happy with that.
