Let it snow!! - sherpahigh - 11-19-2003

Bring on the powder. Looks great for this early in the season. Can't wait. :thumb:

Bah snow..bah winter. :|

Winter would be okay if it didn't snow on the roads.

Can't quite make out your avatar. Looks like 3 holes with a stick on a white background. My best guess is that it's a skier (you?) with a lot of snow being kicked up as you plow through it?

Haha, ya I wouldn't be a big fan of winter and snow if I didn't love skiing in it so much.

You're right about the avtar being a skier, although it's not of me unfortunately. That's the kind of skiing I dream about. Too bad I don't get to ski in that kind of powder all the time. Once every couple years maybe. I'm hoping this year there's a ton of snow in store for the mountains. We're due for a good year around here. Big Grin

I just changed my avtar. This picture is from the same place as the other one in Fernie, BC, but this one's of me. It's from last years New Years trip. A friend of mine works at the Calgary Sun and used this picture in an article here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.calgarysun.com/cgi-bin/niveau2.cgi?s=generic8&p=72042.html&a=1">http://www.calgarysun.com/cgi-bin/nivea ... 2.html&a=1</a><!-- m -->

Funny thing is that there were no moguls out there at all that day. It was all powder skiing, but he needed to write an article on mogul skiing so...

gotta love the snow[/img]

I hate the snow and the cold myself. I am a total summer person. I swear someday, and it is a goal to make my home in Hawaii.
That's a really cure picture though. :wink: I love the beer bottles! :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I love the summer too. But living in Calgary so close to these mountains makes for a great playground in the winter. I've been skiing since I was 2 or 3 and can't imagine a winter without skiing. I'm an all season kinda guy I guess. :wink:

I do however love escaping this cold place during the winter to say the Carribean or somewhere like that. Not in the budget this year though with a wedding, so I'll have to make the best of the winter around here. Looking like it's going to be a good one. :thumb:

I think best place to have the best of both worlds is Nepal, live in the lowlands and trek up to the mountains :thumb: heard some of the best vistas and places to ski are there.
