We're off to Tremblant again later this week, so at least 2 more days left this season for me [emoji16]

Well to top it off then.... only cost me $18 for a 4hr lift ticket [emoji12] And there is NO lift line, longest wait may have been half a minute. Rocking the QST-92's today too, perfect for this spring snow. Dropped the Supershape's off yesterday for a tune, picking em up tomorrow so they'll be ready for Tremblant Friday.

Being unemployed isn't so bad [emoji38]

I had friends over this weekend and they left their wallet at Cascades.

Had to get some runs in. Fantastic conditions.

BC had another wave of snow last weekend. The way this season is going we can expect powder into May. If one can't be dirt biking they might as well be skiing I guess. Forecast for -15 in Calgary. Yay I guess.

Skied Calabogie today. The sun came out and it was glorious. Creamy mashed potatoes on a firm base.

It reminded me why it's my favorite hill in the area. It's 780 feet of fun..

Oddly the bar wasn't open today. Which is a shame because their patio is spectacular.

Right?

It's ok though, we brought in some reinforcements.

WTF!!!??

We're up at Tremblant! Top half of the mountain was full on fog! But dinner was great [emoji16]

Not surprised, the clear weather rolled in from the east just after lunch. By the time we left at 3:30 it was clouding over again. The sun changed everything.

We had full on spring conditions today. Tomorrow morning it's supposed to be sunny & -8ºC. Looking forward to some blue skies.

Nice! It'll be great.

I'm taking the kids to MSM tomorrow. Gonna be great.

Gurgie · « **Reply #1615 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:06:36 pm »

We did MSM last weekend, it was fabulous! You guys will have a blast! Open till 6pm tomorrow as well, so you can lounge & have a pint out on the deck while the kids do laps, that's what we did last weekend [emoji16]

Acceptable.

I'm going to be posting pics from Maui soon just to hurt you all as much as you're hurting me with your extended winter fun!

The kid scored some practicum days with a heli ski company.

I would file these under "way, way more than acceptable."

The view from the bird... (or as she said "just another day at the office, Dad...")

One of the guests seems to be enjoying himself...

On some of her days off from Sunshine she's been doing guiding practicums. It's unpaid work, but amazing experience. You do grunt work - up at 4:30am to prep for the guide's meeting, hauling people's gear around, and going out on skins to scout conditions, but then you get a ton of hands on experience. And you get to do some insane skiing.
