Every year Tubbs Snowshoes sponsors the "Romp to Stomp". They do these snowshoe race/walk events around the country. In the Salt Lake area it is held at Mountain Dell up Parley's Canyon. This is our (my sons included) 2nd year volunteering at the event. We put up signs, we time racers, we cheer. Last year we handed out cups of water. The fun of the race is the costumes and spirit of the event. This year, the costumes were at a low (one pink tutu and a set of pink hats with white flowers).... but the racers (over 300) were out to have a great time. The snow was crusty and crunchy, so no fresh powder to dance in, but the race isn't about the snow. Ethan did the 5K snowshoe race, without snowshoes. It was a last minute idea where he felt inspired to follow the racers, and I was impressed to see him come across the finish line. All in good fun, and the community is great to support the cause.
