Vitamin D

Finally the rain ended, while at least for a day. Laurie and I were keen to get out and take in some sun. The snow quality wasn't worth driving too far for so we settled on a tour at Diamond Head.

Check out the rain runnels

Ahhh...Sun!

With placements finally finished and a Wednesday off classes (at least in our books), Pat (a classmate) and I headed up the Duffy Lake Road to see what the cold temps had left behind.

Curse of the Weekend Warrior

The past 4 weeks have been like Ground Hog Day:
Mon/Tues Snow
Wed/Thurs Cold and Clear
Fri/Sat/Sun Warm and Rainy

Becky and I decided to get out of the city and headed
to Cayoosh for a tour in the trees.

We should have just taken the GT out for a rip!



It's amazing how excited you get to see the
sun when you live in Vancouver

Baker

Becky and I may have been a little too optimistic thinking the Baker backcountry might be good this weekend. We arrived to a parking lot full of water and rain coming down sideways. Needless to say the outing was a short one.

The Glacier ski fence was the highlight of the day

Third Time Lucky!

A last minute bail out and warm temps landed us at yep you guessed it, Sproatt for the third straight weekend. Karen and James joined us for there first trip up Sproatt.

The old growth










3rd time is a charm
