Winter Adventures

Last week (well, technically, the week ending today) was reading break for us UBC-ers. The group of us decided to head to my parent's cabin at Green Lake for a winter get-away. We were expecting snow and needing lots of wood to keep the fire going. What we weren't expecting? -35C weather. Up north, cold and clear nights mean really cold weather, but also the most beautiful contrast of sky/snow.



Ahh, the north.







Home, sweet chilly home
So beautiful!

While it was pretty chilly, the five of us did have a good time. Definitely had some amazing food, tons of marshmallows, and snowshoed to a few islands. We decided to cut our trip short by a bit, and three of us headed to Kamloops for a quick overnight, before heading back to the coast.

Now it's time to finish studying for an exam, while fighting the cold that just hit this afternoon. Lovely.
