Opening day at Red Mountain

Lots of excitement in town this week as a build up to today's opening of Red for 2012/2013.

We got 10cm of snow Friday, and there is 1.5 meters of snow at the top. However, there has been a crap load of rain this November, and there were rivers running down the mountain earlier this week.

I awoke to the sound of avalanche control explosions and a temp of -10C.

Bluebird skies and good, if somewhat crusty snow.

A great day all round. I am tired.

The edge of the Paradise side


In the trees - out of my element. 
Oh man, I am a chump skier in these parts.
I have my work cut out to get my skiing chops!!
Not a bad thing, It just means more time at the hill :-)



News bits.
I have a part time job at the hill shoveling snow. The calls will come at 5:10am!!
I have some bad carpal tunnel thing going on. Mostly due to bad ergonomics on the computer since I got to Rossland I think.

Tomorrow is slack-country out of the resort to Grey. Should be fun.
