Just a quick post as I procrastinate from marking the tests which I've been meaning to grade for the past two weeks. Work resumes tomorrow with minimal levels of enthusiasm emitting from the Williams' household.
We got just above the treeline in about three hours of snowshoeing! The snowshoe thing was all a bit much, and tipped Brad ove the edge, so much so that he was prepared to fling the tortuous things off the summitJust to cap off the holiday season though, yesterday was spent in the backcountry of Kananaskis, slogging up to the top of Black Prince Mt with the snowboards, to get the ride of our lives down through the waist deep powder!
. After reminding him that there'd be some hefty damage deposit to pay the University rental dept, we stashed the shoes safely away, vowed to bring up split boards next time and latched onto the snowboards!So many posting on our blog ramble on about the winter, ski-ing, boarding, mountains etc... but this was really the business. 30 minutes of calving down through the trees, making fresh tracks all the way through powder so deep you needed a snorkel, spraying waves of snow two metres high on every turn! - God bless Canada! We're looking forward to what else 2007 will bring - hopefully more of the same next weekend!
In the meantime I'd better get off and make up some grades for those kids' tests! A certain wife of mine is all up to speed with her work - oh to be prepared! Maybe one day!
Riding High,
Watch out for the branches (they'll scratch your goggles),
