Sunny Daze

Posted February 6, 2012

Hi loyal readers.  I've been dealing with some personal issues lately, thus the silence.  Don't worry, I am going to be OK, just trying to root out the causes of some nagging anxiety.

In the meantime, it was sunny on Saturday, and I took some photos.  Enjoy!

This is the view looking North from t…

Holy ass slap Batman!

Posted January 22, 2012

Well.  We HAVE had an interesting weekend.  Up to Mt. Cain of course, and it was snowing, slushing and nasty the whole drive up.  Saturday was the Cain Cup - the annual race to see who on the mountain is the fastest at skiing gates.  The format is simple - there's a race down the lower face in the m…

Pretty Pictures

Posted January 16, 2012

No major stories from this past weekend, just some very nice photo's.

This is Mt. Cain.  The tallest peak on the right of this photo that is.  The zone below is locally known as the "East bowl".

This is Mt.Abel.

If you were to ask me to take a photo like this, I probably couldn't.  I just point…

Is 6 too young?

To teach your son about pole whacking?

I was chatting with my buddy Katie, when I look for Cole  he's in full pole whack!

I didn't actually have to show him - he has developed this excellent technique completely independently!  Made me proud!

This was the first ski weekend for my son and I at Mt…

I had a profound and interesting idea to blog about...but I've forgotten what that was!

Just got back from the mainland and meetings with my partners at Wedler Engineering LLP.  Facebook better watch out because Wedler is coming!

Municipal elections are this weekend.  I'll be glad when that is all …

Like the title says - 7 inches in the parking lot at Mt. Cain when I got there today for a site meeting at 10 am!

The view on the drive up.


First tracks in the parking lot!

MOUNTAINS!

This is Roberts Lake - I've never actually stopped here before but I had to pee really …

Mt. Cain Work Party!

Posted September 18, 2011

Well - the ski season has officially started.  At least that is how it feels to me.  Tree and I loaded up ASD Machine with warm clothes, my chainsaw and other items and sundry and headed up to Cain for the annual work party weekend.

We arrived Friday, moved our stuff into Pete's cabin and the fun …

Catching up

Posted September 13, 2011

Well, it's 4:19 am and I am wide awake.  Been that way since about 10 minutes to 2.  I have a lot on my mind, so what better way to try and get back to sleep than to "blog-dump" it!

We stopped at this nice pond after climbing the Bedwell trail.  Notice the very snazzy looking black back pack besi…

busy, busy, busy

Posted August 18, 2011

My apologies loyal fans, I have just realized that I have not written an actual blog post in some time.  In fact, I've been limping by with flashy photo's and half-meant promises of more "blogging" to follow.  I haven't made good on these promises and wish to explain.

As the title of this post ind…

Closing time...

Posted April 3, 2011

That's it.  That's all.  Its over.

Well, at least skiing at Mt Cain is.  For the season.  Well, skiing with tee-bar assist.  This post started strong but seems to be losing speed.  Probably because I am so freaking tired...

Looking back at the West Bowl after my first of four laps Saturday mo…

Dream Chute

Posted March 28, 2011

The title says it all.  A line I have been sizing up ever since I read up on Mt Cain last year. Its the sort of line where if you watch someone ski it standing at the top, they go over, disappear from site and then only reappear at the bottom...

Dream Chute as seen from the top of the tee bar at M…
