Snowpack has been over 100% for most of the season so far so I was not disappointed for early January conditions. My first day (but not Rachel’s) was the day after New Years Day and I got over to Winter Park early. The main free lot was already full by 8:30 and since it was […]

Snowshoed near Fraser River trail on January 1, 2020

Happy New Year! I went on a late afternoon hike with snowshoes along the Fraser River trail at the Rendezvous community to get outdoors and ring in the New Year. The trails alliance does a nice job taking snowmobiles through the Fraser River trail and surrounding areas, including into the lower Rendezvous community, to groom […]

The first thing that struck me first was TrailFork’s mission, summarized as: “to educate adventurers about their environmental impact, and we aim to make food that […]

After a big storm, I had lots of fun exploring the Eagle Wind territory. I started the day a little after 9:30 AM (on a Monday) so I had the whole place to myself. It had been a very crowded weekend with, from what I heard, anywhere from 15,000-17,000 people on Saturday and Sunday. My […]

One quick day before the holidays but the best powder so far! Since I’m only averaging 5-10 runs each time I get out, I’m trying to find ways to get creative and make sure I’m spending my time wisely. Luckily the day before Winter Park got a bunch of snow so I headed over to […]
