Well I guess this answers my question in your first posting! - so this is why they have such a shaggy coat - I always thought marmot hibernated their way through all the snows, live and learn!

Perhaps the subject is just a bit too small in frame at this size but must look much better at full size. I've only tackled these whistlers in mid summer, so great to see a diffferent take on marmots :toast:

good image, gives a great feel to the wide snowy wastes, possibly would like the marmot a little bigger to see it more clearly but still try to retain the feeling of huge areas of snow.
