Nanaimo -> YVR: Float-Plane Style

December 30, 2011 

On Friday, Mike and Susan drove Will and I to Nanaimo to catch a float plane via Harbour Air back to the mainland.

Landed! Now off to some Vancouver fun!

Mt. Washington

December 28, 2011

On Tuesday, Will and I went on a little 2.5 hour roadtrip up the island to Mount Washington for a day ski trip.  It was my first time out on the snow this season, and I was especially excited to try out my new Volkl Kiku skis (a sweet birthday/Christmas present from Will!):




It was a good ski hill, though the snow conditions were sub-par. We experienced four seasons in one day (sun, cloudy/wind, rain, white-out snow conditions). We did manage to check out all the ski lifts, including the schmancy moving carpet (that was covered from the elements...way nicer than the tow rope I had to learn on as a little kid!):







It was a fun day, and I'm praying for more snow in the Rockies and Sierras!!
