We used to sit in our front room watching them coming down Grouse. Not to mention the sight of the Lions appearing all white as the clouds disappeared. Good times, enjoy.

I need to get my board waxed as well. I usually get a quick wax done at the top of whistler, but it's not the same as the full service.

More disturbingly, I don't have any mountains nearby but I think I might need to put the plow on the quad tonight.....

Nakiska (Alberta) is opening up one ski hill this weekend I have heard - the earliest they have ever opened up, ever.

Mind you, it's all man-made.

Anyway - La la la, still not listening.

Edit: Ha - AC beat me to it.

It is indeed. The golden ears are snow-capped and actually look quite nice today. Though it will be rainy and miserable tomorrow probably which will wash it all off.
