A few days before Christmas we had an impressive winter storm that dumped quite a bit of snow on our mountains. And Mauna Kea got its white cap again.
I'm a Southern Utah based hiker, backpacker and outdoor enthusiast and try to spend as much time outside as possible. Check my page often and see on what adventures I have been.

Mele Kalikimaka - White Christmas on The Big Island
Yes, it snows here in Hawai'i. Even though you might think that being so close to the equator it is always nice and warm, you're wrong. The Big Island of Hawai'i can get quite a bit of snow. You can even go skiing and snowboarding here if there is enough of the white stuff. The climate is so diverse that we have 10 out of the world's 14 climate zones just here on that single island. And because Mauna Kea rises to almost 14,000 feet, the top of the mountain consists of a harsh tundra climate. It can snow any time of the year.
