big white

welp the big white adventure was a success. we had a great time: great snow, great condo, great food, great company.

when it was all said and done we were ready to get home and especially to see our kiddos.

we’ve actually been back for a while, but i’ve been my normal self, irregularly posting stuff. at any rate jayne had a karaoke birthday party the other night which i’m sure she’ll be writing about soon. it was tons of fun and we had lots of great food.

more to come soon enough…

livin the dream, the last afternoon of steep deep….

steep deep

well, i have 3 more hours of skiing left :( jayne is done and gonna get some pampering, then home tomorrow.

we’ve had a blast, check the flickr….

slopes day 2…

slopes

we’re getting ready to hit those slopes once again.

yesterday jayne had major boot issues, so after a few hours in the boot shop she’s in some new boots that feel great and we’re ready for an awesome day.

i’ve enjoyed going up to the village in the early am, getting a pastry and a nice mocha and reading in the am, so that’s been a relaxing and enjoyable thing for me.

we love our place, so many really nice features…. need to get this expresso machine working and the fireplace figured out, but other than that, awesome!

talked to the kids via ichat video this am, which was awesome, they’re lovin life with grandma and grandpa, so it was good to see 2 happy boys and some happy grandparents!

we’ll hit you with some more pics later today but check out jayne’s blog for a more detailed account of the trip so far! and check out the daily refreshed flickr feed too….

have a great day! we will!!

we made it!!!!

big white

so here we are at Big White, 7″ of new snow over the past 2 days and getting ready to hit the slopes! i’m blogging so i don’t go stir crazy while Jayne preps for the big day!

this place is great though what a haul to get out here. we can see why Utah is such a draw! 1 flight and a 30 minute shuttle vs. 3 flights and a one and a half hour taxi ride!!

But we are here!!!! had a nice mocha and croissant for breakfast and am eager to hit the BIG MOUNTAIN!!!

remember to check out the flickr feed!!!!

also eager to use the expresso machine here in our place (note: SWEET!!!)

more pics to come tonight, this place rocks!!
thanks to all those who are making this trip happen (Tom & my mom and dad in particular)

so while we’re in BC….

so when you’re so unbelievably cool as to own an iphone (they’ve sold like 10 bizillion of em, so there’s at least that many cool folks out there) you can do hip stuff like this. i’m excited to post some pics from the beautiful mountains of Big White where we’ll be skiing from time to time, so if you care, feel free to refresh my flickr feed from time to time to see what kind of fun is going on out there. jayne has a fun little project up her sleeve while we’re out there too, which should be cool.

have a good one!

2 days!!!

my folks will be comin in tomorrow, and then sunday we’re off!! BC here we come!!

3 days…

pretty lame countdown when you miss a day, but whatever. still 3 days till the fluffy white stuff up north eh??

good series of interactions…
