The sun was just starting to come up, so we pulled over and took advantage of the empty road, sun and majestic mountains. When in doubt, lunge it out. A red Omni-Heat Turbodown (that we fondly called “The Red Robe”) kept Roz toasty between these chilly scenes." Photo: @dahul (IG) Athabasca Glacier, Alberta | #TestedTough

"I always anxiously await the first snowfall in the Cascade Mountains. Dusting off the snowshoes and hitting the trails is a day to be celebrated. It has become an annual ritual to start in the dark and make it to the best vantage point by sunrise. This was one of those days with perfect bluebird skies. On the way down I stumbled across this magical postcard-worthy scene. The morning light was just starting to illuminate Table Mountain."

"This is madness," I mutter under my breath. What were we thinking? For now the beautiful scenery serves as some sort of distraction from the discomfort, but soon the only light will come from the pale beams of our headlamps reflecting off the frozen track we follow. What then? I shut down my mind and sink into the rhythm of each step. I struggle and sweat up endless hills not knowing how far away the cabin is, with its promise of warmth, or if it even really exists. Tough but oh, so very worth it.'

'The two things I love most are exploring the BC wilderness and capturing what I find with my film camera. On this particular day, we took advantage of a fresh layer of powder to snow shoe around Chilliwack Lake. It's beautiful places like this that inspire me to wakeup before sunrise, get out the door, and take my camera wherever the trail leads.' Photo: @katgrabowski (IG) Chilliwack Lake, BC | #TestedTough
