BACKCOUNTRY: Karen [left] and Clark Slootweg took advantage of the sunny and cold days this February to snowshoe up Walt Ridge.

Hikers Karen and Clark Slootweg have been taking advantage of the sunny cold days in the qathet region by snowshoeing the backcountry mountains this past January/February.

So far this year, the couple has traversed in the snow-covered ranges of Mount Freda, little Knucklehead, and on February 11, climbed to the top of Walt Ridge, where they shared warm cups of coffee from their thermos. Karen and Clark shared a YouTube video of drone footage from their recent adventures in the snow, on social media.
