Winter is here

The first real entry I made on this blog in November 2003 was about skiing. Ever since I have been keeping a close eye on snowheights, places to ski, etc..

Now we are here, and the snow is here too!

On the last day of October we decided to walk to Black Mountain in Cypress park. It's was relatively cold, so we were hoping for some snow.. Unfortunately we only found rain, lot's of it :-) Have a look at the video (35Mb) of that trip..

Four days later there was 50cm of snow.. It snowed for most of the week, as a result Whistler-Blackcomb was having it's opening earlier then ever. Ofcourse we went there :-) Since it was really early in the season we found a nice and cheap hotel. Skiing was good (altough extremely tiring :). Have a look at the video and the photo's.

The last weekend was (another) long weekend. So we had a few days to play in the snow :) We made a trip to Cypress and timed how long it took us to get to the snow.. The result still amazes us, the difference a 15min car ride can make!! :)

Unfortunately the weekend brought typical Vancouver weather, loads of clouds (as can be seen in the video). The next Monday was an absolutely amazing day, clear skies, sunshine.. The typical I-have-to-work weather. I decided to leave a bit early so that we had some time to drive up to Seymour.. I wise decision :-) Have a look at the video and the pictures, worth the wait.. really!

Unfortunately the forecast for the coming week is far to warm :( But i'm sure there will be many more days of snow ;)
