Every ski with you is romantic, Gary. I'll dm you my new number! No promises on what we'll be able to do with the 2 kids always keeping us on our toes, but would be awesome to get on some snow with...

Let the season begin!

Haha - thanks guys. As you can see - he's already sponsored :fmicon:

And thanks Dave - you are spot on. Turned out to be boy #2 who arrived in mid-Feb. Definitely the highlight of the season. I'll...

It turned into biking season in Feb/March.

And then out of nowhere the season turned on again in... April?

Winter appears to be doing its best to end early on the island. Kid #2 arrives in less than a week so I will be just trying to get #1 out on the bike and to the resort to give mom some less hectic...

We've had a range of conditions out here.

Thanks for all the hints regarding the backsaving measures, everyone. Will be trying many/all of them at one point or another for sure. I think the Lucky Bums harness is likely the best bet for now...

The snow quality has not been lacking the past couple weeks.

Got the little man out for his first day on skis this past weekend. 18m 5d. 3 runs. Definite success for him. The...

Thanks Lee and Gary. The family definitely adds a new dynamic to getting out - very looking forward to getting the little man on skis.

Snow has arrived in town. Thankfully my helper is dedicated to thoroughness.

Bike rides are chillier.

Tobogganing is a favourite.

Starting to feel like winter here. Excited for the season. Little man appears to be as well.

Yesterday was a beauty day. Got out for a skin with the wife and little man. The faster we went the more he enjoyed it.

Well, the quality of snow at 1000m leaves something to be desired but there certainly appears to be a lot of it. Hopefully a refresh coming this week.

Didn't you read the title? There's nothing to see here.

Though I've not sledded there, I'd assume not compared to the S2S/Whistler/Pemberton region.

No formal maps of areas that I'm aware of. We ain't up-to-date with all them new-fangled ideas over...

Sometimes the plans to go sledding after 50cm+ over the past 3 days will get derailed because of a kid who is struggling with his sleep so you bike down to the lake with him instead. Seems like a...

Finally got out on the sled today. Forgot how good of a workout that can be.

Small world indeed! Thanks - it's been pretty amazing. Yeah - both keys are now carbinered to the sled. Hoping to get out Sunday for a maiden voyage.

Yeah man - be great to have you if you make it to our little rock if the border ever opens up.

Got out for a ride with the wife on the mtb for the first time since she got pregnant ~15 months ago. Trails remained in excellent condition if you didn't get too high into the snow/slush slop.

You betcha Gary! And we hope to visit your northern climes once this Covid situation is behind us.

Washington had more terrain open this weekend and upper elevations are starting to fill in,...

It does, but they're all jagged shale with shark infested waters, so I wouldn't bother with them. Tofino and Sombrio is where its at.

For those of you who may have the interest and financial means...

Don't believe the hype. Cain sucks. Tell your friends.

Washington opened yesterday. We went up this afternoon. Somehow, the rain this past week has not improved skiing conditions. Only 2 chairs and the carpets running. Definitely early season conditions....
