We spent Christmas at Big White ski resort near Kelowna with some friends. Unlike the coast that has been dry, dry, dry, Big White has a good snow base and the skiing was great - especially for this time of year. We had some fresh snow on 3 of our 4 ski days. I was really happy to ski for four days in a row (okay, 3.5 days because we had a slow start on Christmas day) without much warm up as well as other considerations.
On the slopes at Big White. Just before the aliens laser-beamed Randy away.
Skating at the outdoor rink. Well, technically, sitting in a snowbank beside the rink.
We had planned on going on a backcountry ski trip with some friends over New Year's but the lack of snow changed the plan. Most people went surfing instead but Randy and I skied into a hut for one night and came back to Vancouver for New Year's eve. It was so nice to escape the city again and get above the clouds into the sunshine!

Our camera wouldn't capture us and the valley below. The valley below - I should photoshop us into this one!
Happy New Year!!
