Cool Toronto Game

For the record, I'm going with Bathurst and Davenport.

Nordic Skiing in Fernie

Fernie Report

Unfortunately ski conditions have been less than attractive. Last Sunday and Monday, the Pineapple Express, that was advancing over BC, peaked over Fernie. The ski hill was assaulted with high winds and pounding rain that extended almost, but not quite, to the highest skiable terrain. On Monday, much of the hill was closed because of the avalanche danger and there were several large slides within the ski hill boundary. Since then there has been a dusting of new snow and colder temperatures. Neither of which have managed to undo the storm damage.

Today was nice and sunny but “Old Sol” was unable generate sufficient thermal energy to do much good.

Not that it would matter, as I didn't have any gear until after 2:30 and then when I borrowed my sister's - my "loaned"season's pass was flagged as not being mine! So quickly skated away from the liftie, who was saying "Sir, you have to go to guest services!" so I can be fined and the season pass pulled!!!

Oh well. Quite the birthday.

We're Not Happy Till You're Not Happy

Thanks Air Canada for making my birthday something less than it could have been. A nice blue bird day here in Fernie - and me without any luggage.


PS - any fault that could/should be addressed to me for last-minute unpreparedness is totally deserved, and will be ignored as per usual :)

So Not Fair

All that snow. And now it's melting. Melting away.

Ow

Something to avoid in the next couple of weeks.

Another way for me to injure myself

File this one under basketball.

Intersection of antropology and economics

It's a clever blog - and apparently that intersection is mostly marketing, but there's some fun commentary on things as diverse as why female CMOs are more likely to be sacrificial change agents to people's relationship with their pets.
