Backyard Back Country

 Couldn't get to the ski hill Saturday due to closed roads.  I wasn't about to not take advantage of some fresh pow so I hit the backyard for a few turns.    I have always thought I would enjoy touring skis/boots/bindings skinning up hills but I have discovered a very good plan B.    My large float snow shoes accommodated my ski boots very nicely so I strapped my skies onto my back pack and headed up for some backyard fun.

Spring Skiing

 Headed out with Buckle hooking up with Todd and Daryl this morning skiing from 11 until 2.  It was sunny ,  4C actually quite warm but the snow was really good.  Did a little off piste dropping into Happy Valley and dropping off Waterfall finally making it over the last two bridges.

Sunday Feb 6 evening... I should have known better!

  Hit the slopes at 3:30  meeting up with Todd and Daryl.   It was super busy,  really not worth the drive but hey I got a few turns in!   Logged 3 hours then headed home. 

Thursday February 3rd another POW day!

 Made it for 9am and stayed until 2pm the pow off Piste was amazing.   Documented some of the areas I explored.

Monday under the lights.

 With rain in the forecast today and snow later in the week I went to Blue Monday Eve.  Started around 5 following the groomers ,  first tracks on smart alec and tranquility.   Had the new POW skies and there wasn't any pow .... they were not nearly as much fun!   Thinks I will go back to my all mountain ski for days like this in the future.     Tried a wee bit off off piste with a headlamp ...worked well but it was super traced out just about everywhere so not as much fun as last week.
