Off for a change of scene at the weekend; going to visit Ashley and Turner in their pad in Calgary. I'm really looking forward to seeing them and for a bit of "bright lights, big city" (Alberta style). Hopefully my absence will also trigger the snow gods into delivering some more Pow to Fernie. The situation at the moment is much the same as it has been: warm temperatures, runs getting slushy by the end of the day. We had some snow at the top of the mountain and I got "fresh tracks" first thing today but it was some pretty weird skiing - very heavy underfoot. Also been skiing more moguls and bumps today. Unfortunately after nine weeks I'm still rubbish! When I can do bumps well I'll think I'm a good skier but unfortunately I'm not there yet.
