Heavy Snow Winter Camping | Photography | Pulk Sled | Mazama Ridge

I am returning to Mazama Ridge at Mount Rainier National Park. This has become an annual trip for me – as this is my third year going here in the winter to photograph. For this trip, I departed Paradise with a mix of clouds and sun but managed a significant change in the weather later in the day with heavy snow, wind and cold temperatures (18F / -8C). While I was forced to shelter in the tent during the afternoon and evening, I was able to get out and take some photos in the morning. The winter atmosphere always makes for an interesting subject, and I was able to come away with some good shots.

I took the pulk along again this year. Pulling it is a challenge, but it affords me the storage to bring additional photography gear and a larger tent. This is, in my opinion, still an overall better choice than scaling down to only a backpack – at least for this type of shorter trip.

The Sony gear performed well in the cold temperatures and snow conditions. No issues.
