I just got this message from a friend:
"Did a very fun snowshoe of Mount Baden-Powell..."

It's all relative. What's an impassable horror-fest to one is a fun romp in the 
snow to another. If you know your capabilities and strengths, you'll know when 
to proceed and when to turn around.

Baden-Powell is no joke under winter conditions, but one never knows until they 
see it for themselves.
