Catch-up

This is another one of those ‘Phew, I have time to stop and take a breath, blimey haven’t blogged in a while’ posts.
At Easter we did an Avalanche Skills Training course in Whistler, which involved going into the backcountry (up on snowshoes, down on snowboards) and learning how scary and dangerous the terrain is. I will blog that in more detail at some point - also on the Powderroom.
On the course we meant some like-minded people with whom we’ve since done a couple more backcountry days and some tree riding. Two weekends ago we caved in and bought brand new split boards from the Prior factory - I’ve been feeling a little alarmed about the extravagance ever since.
We spent my birthday weekend in Whistler, and I got lots of gorgeous gifts. Dave got me a truly gorgeous book called Islands in the Salish Sea, which was an inspired present.
Last week I went to Kelowna with work for four days then flew home and went straight to Whistler again for the weekend. This weekend, believe it or not, we are staying in Vancouver. I plan to sleep a lot. And do laundry.
