We need snow again

Yep, we are in need of snow again. Well, we still have a 155cm base but we lost about 40cm of snow during the warm spell we had during the past 2 weeks. Yeah...when you were having the -30°C weather we were having sunny and +7°C.... It made a fantastic base, nice and solid, but the snow is pretty beat up now and the groomers are doing all they can to make it smooth. Some new snow would be very beneficial. That system that was pushing all the snow away from us is finally leaving so I'm very confident we'll have big dumps of snow by next week....lots for when everyone comes in February!!

I took more lessons and I've learned that I have to improve my "angulation". It's hard to explain over....blog...and easy to explain in person but it involves the proper use of your edges. It's actually a challenge but when I get it right it makes the turns so easy and enjoyable.

We're getting new roommates since our old ones moved out to their own condo with friends. Agata and I are now doing the same and have a few good places to look at. One is right above the Silver Woods lift and is quite nice. We're just waiting to hear back on availability and price. It will be nice to have our own space, have it a bit quieter, and have the ability to have friends sleep over.

I have a lot of great pictures to post, but I have to get them off my camera and onto this blog. I'll also be making a "my drive to work" video since the view on my ski-doo ride down is fantastic with the mountains, sunrise, and inversions.

Oh ya, I got employee of the month for December (lift operations). Yay!

Maciek, we hope you feel better soon!

Mike and Agata
