Skiing in the dark!

 From time to time heading to Blue I will forget to bring something.   Twice in the last decade or two it was the boot making a return to home.   Last night I was out and brought my day goggles ... the ones for bright sunny slopes!    Needless to say I had a tough time skiing and tried to keep as close to the lights as possible.  Hooked up with Tyler last night.

Where did the Snow go?

 Hit Blue for the first time in the new year skiing with Stephan Miklos.   Mother nature has not been very kind.  The base is the smallest  I have ever skied on kudos to the groomers to keep the arty going.   

Boxing Day Blue

 Its been snowing and it was time for my "powder" skis.   Headed to Blue at 3 starting at 4 for a 2.5 hours.  It was a little busy but not as bad as what I was expecting.   Hit the North Glades at Orchard before dark,  shin deep pow!

1st Blue

 Its a bit of a late start to our local ski season with Blue opening a couple of weeks ago.   Headed out for #1 on Thursday Eve after work meeting up with Patrick, Lisa and her boys.    Miss the Whistler POW things were hard ,  fast and a bit icy.   They are in huge need of some snow and it looks like it came over the past few days.  





2022-2023 Season Kick Off - Whistler Blackcomb, Dec 8,9,10

 This was my 5th trip to Whistler in the past 24 months and I finally got 3 days of deep powder skiing in.  We went hard from the time the lifts started turning until the last rides up...it was Epic.   Most of the high Alpine was closed and we heard bombing daily.  Harmony opened the second day so we did get a little taste of the bowls but the theme of the week was trees!
