Spent the morning snowshoeing in Harriman State Park. Was completely geared up with -

• MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoes + 6″ Flotation Tails
• GTX low cut hiking shoes
• Smartwool ski socks
• Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Gaiters
• Cloudveil FirsTurn Jacket/softshell
• Smartwool Long Underwear (top and bottom)
• Patagonia Capilene 3/4 shirt (baselayer)
• Marmot Scree Pant
• Outdoor Research Peruvian hat and Adrenaline gloves
• CamelBak M.U.L.E.
• Bushnell BackTrack (which is totally awesome and accurate. I went bushwacking off trail and this got me back to the car with pinpoint accuracy).

It was a nice  aerobic activity and, given that the temperature was in the 20′s with wind, the gear made a huge difference.  The highlight was testing out my new Canon PowerShot SX200 IS camera. Took some great snaps and even had a chance to test the HD video component. Am really happy with the outcome.
