I skied with Finn in the Ergo, and he thought skiing out downhill through the trees was the Best Fun EVER! There was a lot of screaming and arm waving going on, so thankfully we weren’t eaten by bears. Spring skiing is here!

Skiing Pipestone – I was kind of expecting sun-affected trails, lots of icy patches. Instead there was a foot of fresh sticky snow, that kept grabbing onto our skis and refusing to let go.
But we all had fun anyway.
A snow globe kind of day, it just snowed and snowed, and the big fat flakes came floating down. We took advantage of the total snow cover, and went wandering around town with the sled.
And after picking up hot chocolate (ok, fine, one coffee and one chocolate chai) we wandered down by the river, and everything was snow-covered and muffled and a little bit Narnian.
I haven’t been skiing at the resorts a whole lot this year, but every day I’ve been to Sunshine has been a powder day. Maybe not so surprising seeing as they’re on track for a record amount of snowfall this year.
We barely ever stop for photos when skiing at resorts, so here’s a couple of me, just for something different.
We ended up stuck at the hill until the end of the day, not such a bad thing in this case. The avalanche control done by Parks Canada on the Sunshine access road had led to a rather large avalanche. It took them a while to get the road clear, and driving past on our way home, you could see the slide was full of mature timber.
Another ski up Skogan Pass – this time avoiding the herds of cougars that were roaming the place. We saw footprints, but no kitties.
