Winter fun

OK. Given inspiration from NatureNerd, Adventurebraids, Curmugeonly and Granny Poppy, I thought I would give this blog thing a go. Seems like a good way to let people know what's being going on with the fam.

So to start things off.....A few pics from some winter fun over the winter. I have been doing a bunch with the Alpine Club on the Island.

In January, did a trip up Mount Phillips in Strathcona Park.


En route...

McBride Peak and Marble Meadows

Towards Mt Myra and Thelwood

Had spring-like weather in January!

Enjoyed the area so much, we heading back for a trip on the other side of the valley up Mount Myra in March.


Summit on Myra

Big Interior Mountain



The grand tour for the season was a week long trip up to Lake O'hara in the Rockies.

We stayed at the lovely Elizabeth Parker Hut.

The Rockies snowpack is pretty frightening. We stuck to flat terrain.


The food was gourmet. Yves with his roast chicken and apple-blackberry crumble
