It sure is weird to be running in a fleece touque and mitts just a couple of days after being in early summer.
Brrr.
The clouds cleared this morning while I was having breakfast and I saw how much snow there is on the north shore mountains for the first time. Cypress
, Grouse and Seymour are all open 9am to 10pm… and if you have a ride and $73 to drop on a one day (8:30 to 3pm-ish; $37 for a single ascent back-country pass) then obviously Whistler-Blackcomb has snow too.
It feels like Christmas at last, though, the pretty tree on Beach Ave, downtown is lit up … I can see it from my window, but it’s obscured by a huge floodlight for yet another movie, or TV episode being filmed in Vanier Park.
