MEMORABLE BIG WHITE JAN 2012

This was our first Canadian snow family holiday and we now hope the first of many!
We had taken an NZ snow holiday in the previous July to find very light snow coverage and gale force winds. What a delight to ski from our door in snow that reached a 183cm base.
We had some of those spectacular postcard days with clear blue skies, 30cm of fresh powder and no queues! The powder was so dry it was hard to compact into a snowball. Our kids (8 and 11) had a blast at ski school.
Maybe the regular hot chocolate breaks for our 8 year old skier and the totally awesome board instructors for our 11 year old, helped with that.
Special thanks to Leah for all arrangements - we just had to turn up!
