Cooke City Snowmobiling - December 2008
We're finally at the family cabin near Silver Gate, Montana. This afternoon, we went out to the mountains above Cooke City for some snowmobiling. This area is a mecca for back-country snowmobiling - folks come from all over to enjoy the area's abundant snowfall (usually over 15' per season). We're still pretty early in the season - there's probably not more than 4' yet. Even so, we've had enough snow in the past week that the sledding is pretty decent. Most rocks are hidden and there's some good powder to be had.
I like to take a camera along for the ride to snap some powder pics. This can be a challenge given that my E500 is not weatherized. I carry my camera and a second lens in my Kata T212 Torso pack. Although I wear the pack under my coat to protect it from the snow, I still place the camera and lens in a sealed plastic bag to protect it from stray snow and condensation.
Here are a few pics I took today. It was snowing pretty heavily, so the light was not good. Still, I think we got some decent action shots.
