My buddy Don asked me to join a group of his buddies from the gym to go snowshoeing on Cypress Mountain. It was my first time, the snow was hard packed and it was warm. Not a bad first experience… I’ll do it again for sure.
We made a pit stop to fuel up. Don eating oranges before we headed up to the peak.
I brought the DSLR camera along and snapped a couple shots of the scenery. It was nice but I’d prefer to have a tripod to shoot landscapes.
I used the Lowepro Toploader to carry my Canon 5D MKII with 70-200mm lens. The camera fits perfectly with the lens attached and it’s easy to access. I couldn’t quite figure out the harness system but after looking at the images online I figured it out.
Coming down was interesting. When you’re sliding downhill with snowshoes on it’s very important to keep your feet and hands up. If you catch your edge you could break an ankle.
We headed to Korean town in Coquitlam after and had hotpot and a couple beers. Don is Korean so he knows what to order. Thanks Don for the great day.
Yeah, today was a good day to hit the hill. I didn’t see any crazy clouds cast over the mountain. That Korean place looks good too.
Curious, was the video taken with the 5D?
Food was good but we ate too much.
Video was taken with the iPhone 3Gs. I threw it down from the top of that starting point. Don dove to make the catch but that sorry ass missed it. So the lens was frozen and foggy/dark. MK2 was in my bag on my hip.
What a nice view. Wow. I don’t ski, but when I see how much fun people have, I regret it a lil.
Never too late to start.
Wow, looks like a great time. Food looks really good too.
Legs are sore!! Jacuzzi time
Ah, no wonder, I was about to say “That doesn’t look like 5D video!” could totally tell it was some mobile phone.
Do you need EMUSI goggle?
Yes! EMISU goggles don’t fog up, right!?
Such a beautiful city. I love your morning sunrise shot. Food seems authentic!!
