Dido shows us how its done, doggie style.  20cm of fresh, dog days in the Battle Abbey trees.

The cold weather has left us and we are now getting more snow.  The storm came in slowly over the last two days, then really blew in last night.  We have somewhere between 8 to 15cm of new snow this morning.  Its hard to tell with the wind.

This has been a fairly clear and cold week at the Abbey with minimal snowfall.  We are up here with the Coaster Club and an assortment of western Canadians.  We started the trip with a Run down King's Backside in excellent powder condition.  On the way home, most of the group did a run down Steepness, which was also in great shape.  On Monday we split up the group with some people skiing the Waterfall, some skiing Choke Stone Gully and some skiing the Grizzley Trot.  We met up in the valley and headed up Mount Butters.  The weather started out clear but it slow

We now have two spaces available on the Selkirk Lodge trip starting February 12th.  $1200 plus tax each.  The February 19th Battle Abbey trip is sold out.  Contact robson(at)gmoser.ca for details.

Yesterday we spent the day skiing the Boulders, Blue Danube Ridge and Pressure Drop Corner.  At the end of the day three of us skied a beautiful wide chute to the west of Pressure Drop.  It was a little tricky to get in to but once we were in, we were laughing all the way to the bottom.  Tree skiing just doesn't get any better than that.  Love it.

17cm of low density snow with no wind overnight, 2 1/2 meter base at the lodge, looks like a great opening day.

The latest extreme sport.  Check it out.  Feature length film is in production.
