This morning I stepped out from my new apartment in downtown Vancouver and swore it was November. In fact, the song ‘November Rain’ has seemingly been playing in my head all day. So, as you can imagine, it has been cold and wet.

May went by beautifully up in whistler, and I managed to hit the powder on multiple occasions. In the third week of May, we got over a foot of powder. Seriously! I managed to convince the lift operator at 7th Heaven to let me and a couple of Aussies go up early, and we had a full 3 runs to ourselves. Then I managed to find deep powder for the next 3 hours before needing to break for food at Horseman’s Hut.

Even the last few days of the regular season which ended May 30 were spectacular. This was the second heaviest snow fall on record for the Whistler and Blackcomb, and we milked it! And the funny things is, the very next weekend we went camping and fishing up north of Pemberton past Duffy Lake. Bloody cold at night but we built the mother of all bonfires, and kept warm with hot toddies.

ast week I had an MRI. UGH. Turns out my wipeout in March tore major ligaments in my shoulder and I will need surgery. So I guess this ongoing pain makes sense. And I thought it was just a bruise.

Just got myself a place downtown close to the office as (a) the weekly commute was killing me (b) the constant living out of a suitcase in various hotels all week was awful and (c) the weight gain was bad. (eating room service for 2 months? Not a good thing for your waist line)
