Even more winter fun or...if you can't beat winter, join it.
 |
| Well...spring skiing this year turned into endless powder skiing. So far in 8 weeks we've managed to ski: Panorama, Lake Louise, Norquay, Revelstoke, Silver Star, Golden, Castle and Fernie. Fresh powder at every one of them, ending with some of Fernie's famous showers. |
 |
| Ramon resting up for yet another 5,000 vertical foot run. |
 |
| Love the artwork on my new, made in Canmore, skiis. |
 |
| Feeding the boy right. Yup....that would be a veggie burger. |
 |
| Revelstoke: Gobs of snow...over 10 metres |
 |
| ....squeezed in a visit with Grandma Lori, camping out out on her floor for two nights. |
 |
| The all terrain park at Silver Star is the best yet. |
 |
| One way to keep warm! |
 |
| Kicking Horse/Golden. 4,000 vertical feet and steep runs.... |

| Whitewall...what a massive bowl! |
 |
| The entrance and short climb up to Whitewall |
 |
| 1/2 way down Whitewall. |
 |
| The views at Castle Mtn. |
 |
| Free hugs before every chair lift ride on blue chair at Castle. A very personal vibe at this resort! |
 |
| Slush cup at Castle mtn....last day of the year. |
 |
| ....along with some outdoor entertainment. |
 |
| Always great to wake up to this in the mountains, rather than getting up to face it going to work! |
 |
| ...only a little bit....once in a while :) |
 |
| "Is spring here yet?" asks Carla, showing off her new bike. |
 |
| Nothing like a modest log cabin in the woods in Fernie. With a chairlift in front a 7 trucks/suvs in the driving way with Alberta plates. |
 |
| Ramon's first run at Fernie. The town is in the distance. |
 |
| Ramon's 1st time snowboarding. The first run he fell 20 odd times. The second run 2 times. Then he got off the beginner chair and headed up the hill! Guess what dad has to buy next. |

| Slope Soaker at Fernie....another last day. Will the bunny make it? |
 |
| Not quite.... |
 |
| Jumping... |
 |
| Surfing.... |
 |
| "Water" skiing..... |
 |
| Popping wheelies. Nothing like leaning back and letting 'er rip for the pure fun of it! |

| Visting a former collegue Cory and his brood. |
