So, we've been hit by a few big snow storms in the last few days, the most recent knocked out power to something like 200,000 homes!! We are ok for power but the internet has now been down for 4 days. It's hard to remember how you used to do things before technology!! So, I'm on a dial up line now. Businesses in Whistler must be having a very hard time. The only place that still has access is Whistler Blackcomb as they have a private line or something to the server. It may be a week before they can get the wireless up and running again. The snow is insanely good so being cut off from the rest of the world isn't entirely a bad thing! Here are some photos of the scenes outside our front door this morning as the snow started to dump - again! :o) Plus one of the crazy axe man..
Wow, I can't believe 2006 is coming to a close. It's all been too fast!! I'm sure they're going to feel like this as I get older but I really hope they don't get too much quicker!!! So much has happened, this has definitely been a monstrous year for moves & adjustments, trying new things, changing our environment completely & getting fit again! We started the year in Melbourne, city living in a wicked warehouse apartment sleeping with eye masks and ear plugs to escape the city noise for a few hours. What a cool town that was.. Now it's all about bears, snow, chopping firewood, snowboarding, untracked tree runs, aching muscles & Canada! And somewhere in the middle the rest of year kicked ass too - wiffle golf, diving in Koh tao, London party town, 2 weddings - plus our own! - seeing almost all our buddies together for a few days can't be beat, not to forget the high school reunion in Vegas baby, Vegas!!! Ahhh, the memories, what a totally awesome time... (end of flash back to '2006: year in review')
We're hoping to get hit by another snow storm tomorrow so fingers crossed it dumps a ton of powder on us!! Both mountains are getting a little bit slushy & I managed to really stylishly catch an edge coming down the steep on Saturday and landed on my face so have a nice old graze on my chin now.
It's raining right now & it's warmed up a lot lately - to about 2 degrees today! Should be out in my bikini tanning hahaha. But the snow is coming down up the mountain already just need the freezing level to drop down to the village and we'll be sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Oh and next up there will be a photo of our new car! woohoo!! We were given a car in exchange for a case of beer, it sounds dodgy but really it's not.. :o) Big ol' bench seats, the old girl purrs her way down the street.. Photos to be taken tonight!
