Christmas morning started at 7 am. Plenty of presents for everyone was loads of fun. Vince’s new skis were itching to get on the hill and Kelvin was happy to oblige after a day off and new snow. Many Star Wars and WII games kept Troy home for a bit. Kurtis was busy playing with his new phone. Troy, Kurtis and I followed later but a bruise on my shin slowed me down too much to ski with everyone. Slow day for me was nice and quiet. A trek by the hot tub and we are all spending a lazy evening waiting for our supper reservations. Glad to hear that all is well at home at Christmas. I am sure your turkey is just coming out of the oven, potatoes are being mashed and perogies are ... read more

Kelvin’s knee was too sore to ski today so I had to hold my own with these little ski devils. Fortunately they are more capable than me and can still have a good time wherever they ski. A little time in the hot tub sure felt good après ski. Christmas eve-ning was a little supper and a bowling tournament on the WII. Kurtis beat us all but it was really fun. A couple of gifts and a game of Monopoly sent us all to bed early. Overnight Santa was good to the skiers with about 6 inches of snow ... read more

Our first day of skiing. We can’t seem to copy our video pictures but we will get some pictures to add tomorrow. The snow here is great and there are very few people so it feel like we have a private ski resort. Kelvin and Vince went out to the Taynton Bowl (back side of the mountain) and had a great time but worked very hard. Vince took a slight tumble and had to crawl back up the mountain in very deep powder to retrieve his skis. Meanwhile Kelvin wrenched his knee a bit so the ice pack is out tonight. Troy was the first one on the hill and skied with abandon all morning; too exhausted to continue in the afternoon. Kurtis and I found a great pack of powder and skied that run all ... read more

There seems to be a large number of things you need to bring to celebrate Christmas away from home. Going to Lloydminster or Park Valley is a lot of work but nothing compared to bringing all of our gifts, ski stuff, food, clothes, Christmas tree, decorations, video equipment etc, etc. Our van was packed so high that once Troy was installed he couldn’t actually get out. However, we made it safely to Panorama by 6 pm and after a great assembly line of unloading we had filled the condo to overflowing. Thankfully the boys are well capable and 5 people can unload everything with amazing efficiency. We brought along a little Christmas tree spent the evening decorating it. Small trees are a lot less work to put together and still give the wonderful Christmas sparkle to ... read more
