    Mt Seymour 雪地野营

    今年冬天是一个暖冬,迟迟未能降雪。户外朋友圈里都在讨论着如何退滑雪季票,很理直气壮的理由:因病要求退票!什么病?没雪滑抑郁了,这必须算病啊。。。😂😂 新年的第一个周末,今冬的初雪终于姗姗来迟。一夜之间青山白头,立刻点燃了温村无数雪友的激情。于是乎全城沸腾,有人携板执杖,驰骋雪道;有人呼朋唤友,踏雪登高;还有少数几位和我们一样,背起沉甸甸的背包,去雪地野营,看日落日出,享彻夜逍遥。 雪地野营于我们而言是第一次,领导听说之后也兴致盎然的表示要”参加“。这个”参加“的意思就是领导会亲自上山住帐篷里,而我则需要兼职挑夫,背着双份的地垫睡袋和各类补给上山😂😂。好在路途不远,上山途中更有美景随处可见,赏心悦目。有蔚蓝天空下的雪压青松,有白云环绕着的远山如黛,还有落日余晖在雪堆上映射出的点点如金沙闪烁。 就这样一行五人轻松惬意的边走边赏,悠哉悠哉的来到野营地。此时正好是日落时分,落日、晚霞、雪山、云海,还有日落之后粉色和蓝色的辉光云霞(alpenglow),一切美景都如同想象中的梦幻、温暖且美好。 太阳彻底下山之后,我们就开始平整雪地,搭设帐篷。然后挖坑做饭,煮雪烹茶。山友老胡还特意带了红酒为大家佐餐,我们则奉献了自制的牛肉干。坐在雪地上,抬头可见满天繁星,清冷月牙,俯首遥看万家灯光,烟火尘世。四周美得寂静,也美得令人恍惚。 上山一次不容易,我们的计划中不仅仅第一晚要看日落,还有第二天早上的日出。次日清晨的山顶,雾气渐渐弥漫起来,逐渐将四周的山头都藏匿其中。就在我们低声叹息以为无缘日出的时候,大自然给我们展现了另外一种朦胧的日出之美。太阳升起时的霞光穿透雾气,时隐时现。在不断流动、瞬息万变的雾气中,忽而看云海翻滚可见粉色朝霞,忽而有山林浮现如同海市蜃楼。我们就一直沉浸在不断的惊喜之中,感叹着造化的神奇。 日落日出都如愿欣赏到了。在日落与日出之间则是寂冷的夜。哪怕有最美味的红酒,最滚烫的姜茶,最飘香的乌龙,和最温暖的咖啡,也还是挡不住大自然无言的高冷。冷就一个字,辗转千万次。零下九度的清冷月夜,山顶万籁俱寂,微风无雪,即使全副武装也无法在帐篷外多待片刻。只能早早钻入睡袋,反复拷问着身为雪地野营小白的自己:“能熬过今晚吗?”,最后才沉沉睡去。当清晨泠冽的空气把我唤醒时,我第一个念头就是“自然很美好,生活很美好!”🤣🤣 部分照片 credit to PNOA:Gloria,花花,老胡
