White for 6 months
Winter has been flirting with us for a while out here, but it has finally arrived. The first sign? The ski hills opened!! And I went skiing!
Ok so, it was kind of a joke, but the point is, I had my skiis on my feet and snow underneath them, and the snow was inclined at least enough to get me moving.
Let me tell you, that felt good. What's even better is that the snow, in the thin strip of available skiing terrain, was good enough that I could bring my new skiis and try them out. Dang are they ever nice.
Before I build this up too much, here are the pictures. Went up to Norquay for a couple hours after work. It's pretty laughable.
Kind of a snow road down the mountain. It was actually pretty busy though - line up at the lift about 3-deep the whole time. And everybody had a great time and was just happy to be out there.
Definitely funny to look to your right and see all that grass.
However, that's all changed. It snowed for about 8 hours straight yesterday and it looks like we might done with grass for the forseeable future. Check out these pictures, taken this morning. It's pretty windy so it knocked it all off the trees, unfortunately
Sunshine opens up on Thursday and things are looking great. check out the webcams at

The bottom picture is exactly the same location that I took one of my skiing photos from. What a difference!! Amazing.
Still waiting for all these ski-trip bookings :p

You're right . . . not much of a ski slope. But you're also right when you say, it is going to get better. Thanks for the pictures.
