First Turns of the Season, November 14

There has been enough snow to ski for a week now and we got out just in time before the Pineapple Express hit. Sweet turns on the Coquihalla. Last time I was on skis was May 28 - less than 6 months ago. Last time we skied the Coquihalla was 7 months ago.

Some of the little Christmas trees are still sticking out - bit more coverage will improve things. But, yeah, the pow is back!

Sunday was Paddle-Day. How 'Westcoast' is this... ski one day, kayak the next? For the first time in two years I managed to get a run in on the Chilliwack Canyon (a dislocated shoulder in November 07 put me off paddling for a while). Was surprised how smooth it went. But the water level was pretty low.
