It was a great couple of days of snowboarding, even though half the runs were closed, the runs that were open were in excellent shape. There were a lot of areas where powder was up to my knees, I had to remind myself to lift the nose of myboard after I got stuck in knee deep snow a couple of times.

Anyway, I'm sure the resort will be fully operational by the time we go back during X'mas break........cant wait.

Wow! I can't believe the incredible views you got. I haven't been skiing in over a year but the best resort we've been able to get to for us has been Peak-n-Peak in PA.

One of my daughters will be starting boarding lessons soon and I've been thinking about converting. How easy is the transition from ski to board? At my age i'll probably just embarrass myself or worse my kids, and physically abuse myself since I'm not as agile as I once was, but then again i'm not an aggressive, crazy skier as I was in my teens and twenties.

Saturday's & Sunday's weather was excellent, it never got below -6C, it was foggy at the top though, which made it a bit challenging at times. Monday's temps were'nt as good, it only got up to -16C but with the windchill it felt colder, but at least the sun was out.

pics of the quad lift & fresh POW!

That's all I did the first year......get humiliated & in contstant pain. But it's all worth it, now I can actually carve the side of the mountain, swishing back & forth effortlessly........well, most of the times.

I have the older style Thule Cascade 1500, the link features the newer version. Mine has a flat black finish and only opens to one side but everything else appears similar. It's been a great gadget, I use it as well in the summer to haul camping equipment. The reason I chose this style was that it can accomodate the propane tank that I use for my camp stove.
