Not much to report

Although I can't tell you exactly how much snow didn't fall in January (as I expect the Whistler Blackcomb marketing department may be keeping a little tight lipped for now), I can say that it was one of the lowest snowfall totals for the month in the last decade.

Unfortunately February is starting off to be much the same. We had one storm that I certainly made the most of last week, taking 3 days off and throwing so much into them that I felt rather beaten up by the end of it! Some good times were certainly had, but once again we are stuck in the blocking high pressure system of despair. At least 6 weeks (maybe more) of this weather has kept the tourists smiling, but the snow purists almost desperate.

So with not a lot to show this week, what happens in a ski town with conditions like this? Well, if you guessed 'Spending a lot of time at the pub' you wouldn't be far wrong!

Although.. I have managed to get out into a few other activities as well. I headed down to Meadow Park with Chris yesterday for a good soak in the hot tub, and to feel like an ape on ice skates again. Unfortunately the day didn't end too well as I lost one of my contact lenses. I'm making do with a spare, but I'm back to being a bit blind (at least not completely). A new lens will take a number of weeks to get here, I just hope it will be before our Revelstoke trip.

I think with my video edit I may have tackled a rather large project. It looks like that what I've been working on will most likely become my 'Season edit', so I am trying to put together a couple of short clips to keep people entertained! Stay tuned... but no promises.

Hopefully my next report will include more snow, and more pictures!
