Ski Season is Coming!

Just the other day I got an email from Whistler-Blackcomb about the upcoming ski season, and thinking about the possibility of going skiing again erased the frustration over how cold it has gotten in the past few days in Vancouver.

While I was taking a hot shower this morning, with the hot steam billowing upwards, I started imagining what this season will be like on the slopes. With such glorious summer weather this year in Vancouver, I wonder if the winters will be equally glorious with lots of snow on the mountains, or will it be one of those warm winters where there isn't enough snow to slip on.

An elderly family friend mentioned that on a particular bush, there were a lot of berries that birds usually eat - a sign that we're going to have a cold winter. I'm not sure how accurate a measure that is, but if it's true, then we should have a good ski season this year, both at the local mountains at at the number-one ranked ski resort in North America.

Suffice it to say, while I am amazed at how quickly the year has come and gone in 2004, (it's November next week!) I'm quite looking forward to heading up the slopes yet again and enjoy the beautiful environment that you can only get atop a ski hill.
