(Click the picture to get full size version) Fresh from the warm beaches in Hawaii, we decided to head for the cold ski slopes at Big White Mountain close to Kelowna. Sandra and I joined Chris and Kristann and drove up to the mountain. Our friends Brian, Elaine, Pat and Dawn had rented a condo on the mountain, but since someone forgot the phone number we couldn't warn them that we were coming, however they were nice enough to let us crash on the floor of their place. The next day Sandra and I decided to try snow boarding. The first time I fell on my butt I thought, "hey that's not so bad, it's pretty soft". By the 20th time my butt was so sore that I would do anything to avoid falling on it again - face first was preferable. We took some lessons and it went a bit better. By the end of the day I had a couple of runs where I could begin to see why this could be a lot of fun! On the last day we did a bit of cross country before heading back to Vancouver. (wiper fluid anyone?) |
