I think I own half of Aer Lingus. I am singlehandedly keeping that Munich route in business- I'm pretty sure it would've gone to once daily long ago if it wasn't for me ;-)

Haven't been on here in a while. Here's a couple of pics from a day at Lake Louise in late November. It was the Friday before the World Cup Downhill so it was pretty cool seeing the World Cup guys strutting around. Serious dumping of snow the night before and snowed pretty much all day - freezing though! Around about -20ish. And the back-side of the hill was closed (see pic!) which is where all the good pow can be found within a 10min hike...after a torturously steep drag-lift. Not a bad day to start the season.

Only got out once over Christmas to Sunshine Village and it was even colder at -25ish. Took the phone out to get pics and it died pretty much instantly. Lots of snow this week, so heading out on Saturday with the office passes for a free day. Hopefully it's a bit warmer. Revelstoke in February is looking good!

Going with a group of 9 or 10, most of whom I know plus a couple of extras that someone's bringing along. Everyone knows someone in the group, no-one knows everyone in the group!

But I have no idea where we're staying - one of the group is the organiser and he does everything every year except tell us minor details like where we're staying etc.

Sure I'll listen out for the accents in the bars - we're bound to meet up!

I just bought boots. And I don't need boots. And and they probably won't even arrive by next Saturday.

They should be here by March though

Another Animal jacket. That's 3 now not counting other brands. It's a Animal sidewinder. Animal don't make them anymore unfortunately.

I've got an Animal rawlinson for sale if anyone wants one. Never used it, tags still on. A medium but tad too big for me.
