Snowshoe Hiking – Stapleton Neighborhood

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

On Tuesday, the Denver Metro area was inundated with a horrible winter snow storm. The snow was blowing sideways in a huge white-out! I went home early, just before the weather landed and finished the day by working from home.

The next day, the snow continued into mid morning. Then, the glorious sun came out. Emma & I decided to go for a snowshoe hike. We hiked for about 3 hours, all over Stapleton, and I actually got a sunburn! Emma had hoped the Coldstone was open, but alas, they had closed up shop for the day on account of the storm.

We went to Noodles & Co, and I bought her a cookie instead. It wasn’t ice cream, but oh well!

After 3 hours of snowshoeing, I was beat. What a great workout!

Nine Mile Peak at YMCA of Rockies

Clare Snowshoe Hiking Nine Mile Peak

On January 15th, I had the first of a series of 3 phone interviews for a new job. The interviewing lasted about a week, at which point I was fortunate to recieve an offer of employment. I just knew the job was right when my future boss invited Dennis & I up for the annual employee snowshoe hike/cross country ski trip! This was an outdoorsy group, and I was eager to learn who my future co-workers would be in an atmosphere away from the office.
