As the eye of the world turned from Vancouver post-Olympics, the snow had the last laugh, returning to coat our local mountains in a thick layer of white. Ski-runs that remained resolutely brown throughout February are now open again, and it seemed the whole city headed up the hill this weekend, at least if the queues at Grouse Mountain were anything to go by. The glorious sunshine was an added bonus.
We boosted Boo up into the backpack, donned the snowshoes and headed out on a great trail towards Dam mountain.
If I ever find any gloves that actually really do stay on my daughter's hands, I will rejoice.
It looks breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteApparently it gets even better the further you get up Dam Mountain, but the backpack-bearer didn't fancy the uphill slog in slippy snowshoes. He fell over once as it was, waking a slumbering Boo!
