....Around here. There is a giant ski jump to the left of the snow. Haven't
been near the "average" high temp this month. (except maybe once.) At least the snow we did get has melted-thanks to the rain. jim 12 frames with Autostitch-full 180 degrees. |

I'm sure you remember the many pictures I've posted showing the 1988 Olympic ski jumps at the top of the hill (actually a river valley). This little hill is mainly for lessons. As well it has an exact replica of the 2010 half pipe for Olympic team members to practice as well as the 1988 olympic bobsled track still used for World Cup sliding events and training. World Cup freestyle ski and board events are also held. Lastly the place has been developed as a training area (nutrition, conditioning etc.) for elite athletes in all sports. The REAL ski areas in the neighbourhood-Nakiska (again an Olympic venue), Sunshine and Lake Louise are only an hour or two away in travel time and, for me, infinitely far away in cost. I think you would enjoy them. jim |

Too bad, Canada would love to have you visit. Being where you are you don't have to come here for great skiing and if you remember my picture of (here we go) Lake Mini-******, you'll know why I prefer summer. (Used to ski but at $100+ all up per day it's beyond me now). jim (subscriber to "Realm" magazine) |
