Snowshoer has eye for scenic location

WINTER SPORTS — Montana outdoor photographer Jaime Johnson and his wife, Lisa, of Lincoln jumped at the chance Wednesday offered to strap into their snowshoes for a walk through a cold clear day and deep powder in Western Montana.

Broke trail to the top of Rogers Pass this afternoon (snowshoes). It is approx.. 1.5 to 2 miles to the top with an elevation gain of about 1000 feet.

There was between one and two feet of snow for the entire trail. Cold and clear day – we got on top just in time for the warm sunset light!

As it set – it got cold! When we eventually got back to the truck, it was 10 degrees below zero. Considering we were 1000 feet higher, we estimate It was closer to -15 on top!
