In the package from Oma and Opa there was this:
It made both Agata and I feel so good! We had so much fun decorating the Martineau Bay tree with the decorations and lights. I'm really not good at putting on the icicles.... Regardless it looks great in our room and is very much appreciated. Our roommates really love having a Christmas tree as well.
Thank you Oma and Opa for the Christmas tree, decorations, treats and gifts (no we haven't opened them yet!) and thank you Mom and Dad for the treats, gifts, and our stockings (also haven't been opened yet!).
It's quite cold here, about -26C˚ and that makes the snow here very dry. Very dry snow is actually very slow. This results in us having to do more skating on the runs instead of skiing.
Oh, I'm finally driving the snowmobiles around the resort. It took a while for my driving record to get here from Ontario (insurance requirement) but I'm all set. First time driving to my lift.......I ditch the friggin' thing. Well it was hard sitting on top of my skis, boots, and poles with another person riding behind me with their snowboard. The left ski hit some soft snow and I couldn't turn quick enough (crammed forward because of the 2nd person), and couldn't lean because of all the gear. Took 10 minutes and a lot of lifting/pulling to get it out. I felt better after learning that a ski patroller rolled the new 2008 Tundra down the hill.....
As for more pictures......here they are!
This is the view from the top of the Comet Chair while we had an "inversion" (clouds get pushed into the lower valleys).
This is Agata having a rest on the slopes.
This is me and one of our roommates, Tom, he's from England.
That's about it for now because it's late and I'm planning on getting up early to go skiing.
Cheers,
Mike

those pics are wild ! Looks awesome...sorry to hear about ditchin the sled, but kinda funny....:)
The pictures are great what a view from the hill. Neat looking benk beds, I imagined for some reason, that they would be a little farther apart. I certainly hope you get along with your roommates. It is too bad that Aggie cann't learn to relax when she is one the hill!!!!
I spent the day today sleddin' and didn't ditch it at all. First time sleddin' in a while. I was also sledding without skis, boots, the other passenger, etc..
