The holidays went by without a glitch and with just good times to remember. I wasn’t really looking forward to going back to Montreal for the holidays since the past few Christmas had made me pretty bitter about the whole festive holiday season. But the second I hoped on the plane from Vancouver to Montreal I had a feeling that it was going to be one of the best holiday ever. I also think that hit me when I got up-graded to business. Everything just seems better and brighter when you’re sipping on a class of champagne before take-off.

Had great times with my whole family and Montreal, to Quebec City, to Mont-Tremblant. Did everything form snowshoeing to salsa dancing in Montreal’s most popular underground Latin clubs.

Came home on time for New Years where I kept things pretty French Canadian with friends and roomies at Priscilla Levac’s place. So fun! I even went skiing with Elan the other day on Grouse Mountain. Skiing is way more fun then I remembered, must be the new Amphibio skis :)

Now riding Whistler where January storm season has been treating us like spoiled brats with meters of fresh powpow to ride everyday almost. Till last weekend where everything warmed up and the avalanche danger was to an extreme, highest ever in 30 years I heard on the news. You could see avalanche debris everywhere in bounds even.

After the warm comes the freezing January cold and now the mountain is a huge skating ring for the next short while it looks like.

Happens every year…

Here are some cool photos that I took with my new Iphone Apps; from the mountains to Squamish eagles in my back yeard. It's like Discovery Channel sometimes out here.
