Christmas day reminded me of days a decade ago that encougaged me to relocate to Fernie. The Christmas of 94’ and 96’ were unbelievable. The snow was soft, deep and untracked everywhere.

My first ever powder Christmas was in 86� at Whistler when we adding tracks to our last lines all day-long. In those days there were no snowboards or fat skis and most people stuck to the groomed.

Ironically I skied yesterday with one of the same skiers that I skied that Christmas in Whistler with 20 years past. With older knees and fatter skis our smiles were as big as ever!

The high traverse to Fish and the face-lift were closed yesterday. I expect to see them open today. Today could be the last day before the holiday masses arrive–get out and enjoy!
