Big White Skiing
Amazing snow conditions for our New Year ski trip to Big White. We were lucky to have great friends joining us from Germany, Ireland, Ontario, and Vancouver. Our interest in downhill skiing has been fully restored!
Elfin Lakes
An amazingly warm and sunny weekend in October provided the perfect reason for a last trip to the coast mountains before the real snow arrives. We headed up to Elfin Lakes on the Saturday morning – lots of snow at the campground and we were not the only people with the idea of camping at Elfin. We were the only ones to hike up to the Gargoyles on Saturday morning – we were rewarded with great views of Diamond Head.
Two trips to the UK
We made two trips back to the UK in April and June – the first for Andy to run the London Marathon and the second to celebrate Gill’s 40th birthday and Gill’s dad’s 70th birthday. Plus we went to the Best Kept Secret festival to see Radiohead and Arcade Fire!
Helm Creek and Panorama Ridge from Cheakamus Lake
Another September weekend with a great weather forecast, so we chose an easy, accessible backpacking trip to Garibaldi Provincial Park. We hiked into Helm Creek campsite from Cheakamus Lake and then headed up through the Cinder Flats to Panorama Ridge. Spectacular views and a nice alternative route into the park.
