MLK day at Mt. Shasta

Well......take a look at this snowy forest playground. We originally drove to Mt. Shasta, CA today, about 80 miles from Ashland, to do some showshoeing on the trails, but.......it was snowing like crazy and couldn't get near the trails with our 4 wheel drive vehicle.....definately need chains or snow tires in this stuff.
So, we opted for a little snow play instead. It was absolutely breathtaking. Mt. Shasta gets about 275" of annual snowfall at an elevation of 14,162. It's up there!! We haven't seen snow like this since our last ski trip to Colorado about 12 years ago.
Baylee gets really animated in the snow....jumping, running and playing. Like this pic with Per. There weren't any people around this area, so the new snow was untouched. Wanted to do a snow angel, but was afraid I'd disappear and Per wouldn't find me until Spring !!!
