Shite snow, great days...

Following a stellar beginning of the back country season the snow gods have decided to let us know what it's like to ski on the moon. Forutnately, the packed powder (as Sunshine puts it) did not keep us out of the mountains, and our resolve was rewarded with some great days out in the woods.

Nicki and Pam look for the quickest way out, just prior to our SKIN down the wind swept, sun baked, rock filled peak.

Turns at Whistler

Last week, I took a course in Vancover and Jill (the resourceful woman that she is) managed to score some time off to make the journey out. We were lucky to get a bit of free time out there to see some family and also to take advantage of the stellar season that Whistler is having.

A Good Day at the Prince...a good day for the young birthday boy

Last year, from lack of experience, we frequented the friendly slopes of Black Prince....a lot. Luckily, things have changed this year and we've managed to get some variety into the log book. Today we headed to the mountains with some good friends (Kyle and Carrie) and Kyle and I headed back to old faithful...and the prince didn't let us down.
