Nice...but please bear in mind that Feb is probably the very worst month weather wise. Odds on it will be very, very cold, very icy and lots of snow...but spring is just around the corner.

Yep, we know, hence why we want to compare with Albertaland, we want to see the differences (if any) and whether we can see us doing it forever. We're also planning another trip to the UK next year. The idea is to be ready to go 2017.

First snow of the winter season, possibly only snow. Hard to say around these parts how much snow shall fall.

Also Charlee's first experience with snow, she didn't care for it. Wanted back inside as fast as possible.


Roads are bad now, some reason the province isn't capable of plowing salting/sanding for some reason, well either is the town, some reason snow removal is too difficult in these parts..

1st photo 10km north of town, 2nd photo 11km south of town... Amazing how a short distance makes a big difference in weather.... As you can see plowing the highway isn't done well....

Unlike Idiot boy who bloody loves the white stuff.. It is only the first time for Charlee- she may get to like it in time.. This one if up at the ski hill just flings himself on the ground in the middle of the busy ski run and does an upside down beetle, paws in the air and groaning in pleasure.. skiers whizzing past at high speed..unbelievable

I suspect yours having a bit more fur and a big higher off the ground helps....

She may grow to like snow, but the breed is known for not liking the cold, short hair, and being close to the ground. He front legs are only like 3 inches...lol

Yeh - she's a cute tiddler- 3 inch legs - you need to take up knitting and knit her a fancy knitted snowboard outfit - it might give her the impetus to head up to Whistler for a few rides and Halfpipes!

Thought about one of these, but honestly not sure she would tolerate it...

Stinky is ok with an assortment of hats but he does like direct fur on snow contact - he would draw a line in the snow with regards that outfit! He did his usual dead beetle wriggle on his walk this morning so, here he is
