Nighttime?

Voted 10/10

Nice image. Is it at night?

When I attended the USAF Basic Survival School we spent four days in the mountains near Spokane--8 feet of snow--on homemade snowshoes. Not a good time! :-(

Thanks for adding it to the Why Do You Do It album!

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Mark! It' s about 11am ;) We knew that there would be a lot of snow but we didn' t have snowshoes (not even self made ones)... But that was no problem (avalanche danger was at the end...) Cheers Lukas

	Hasn't voted	Thanks for you commment BCJ! We did this for... I don' t know about 1.5km and finally the slope got too steep so we weren' t sure about the avalanche conditions anymore and finally turned back :( But a great trip anyhow! Cheers Lukas
