Where Do I Put The Sandisk Adapter

Day 6: First snow storm then view

Good evening, dear reader,
began today on the day with a small but heavy snow showers, which is why the face masks were used once (see picture). Shortly thereafter, but it cleared up and we had a very sunny day, however, was also quite windy. As amazing as time no snow has fallen, although again, nobody announced was;) (for the evening announced about 2cm of snow actually came so far, but this is unimportant, since we are tomorrow fly to Whistler-Blackcomb and us the snow is no longer of interest here).
noon broke the 2h-Holger his snowboard school bingo profits, and I was traveling alone and used the time for many photos of the area and Ghosts Snow and snow.
For lunch we had today in the hotel room the rest of the 17 inches (just 43cm) Cheeseburger Pizza last night, we had not since been able as it so richly to the cheese, minced meat and other cheeseburger ingredients (except buns luck ) was used.
In Whistler, we have hopefully quick wireless access, so that contact can be obtained as usual upright.
Well, as usual, a few pictures of the day + pizza:)

Big White Day 5: New Snow!

was unexpected over night 10-15cm Powder. The weather forecast had reported nothing again, but the main thing is the snow was there! - Super departures in the morning, a little more than normal people go, especially with locals Season Pass, which also go through times like trees and the tip-runs. Above the visibility was not at first 'best' by very dense clouds and fog. After noon it cleared up, however, and so on had we for the first time, the Sun and a perfect view everything! Super photos were taken and videos that can be seen. Unfortunately
was a little too warm, so that the snow has become in the lower right area of the region sword and moist. This made it very hard to drive. We spent the entire day traveling time from 8:30 to lift opening to closing. A Lift sent us away on time at 3:30 because he was already, but luckily we still came out to another, so it was no problem. Today
could be a little harder on the slopes, because at night the snow is frozen again. Let's wait. Here are some pictures from powder day (+ last 2 days)!

Analysis Questions On Respiration

in Big White Day 4: Tree runs

Today it was again announced as less snow, but also 2-5cm are nice and with the soft snow of recent days it seems as if it were even more. The view was indeed mixed, but we had a bunch of brilliant runs through the trees and forests (tree runs). The recordings with Holger's helmet camera be getting better. Unfortunately, our Internet connection is not stable enough to upload large files. Thanks
special wax and run in the Treatment Ebrardstraße the boards still perfect only the edges we need to soon grind a little, there is a difference as slow notes. Obviously, even wood and trunks of trees to be hard, to suffer so that the edges ... ;-)
We also do many amazing photos of which we are only a very small selection here in my blog. The so-called "Snow Ghosts" are unique to any of the images in an earlier post you can see it, the snow piles that are actually trees. And the powder is also brilliant: so light and loose - is not a snow gun here, why?
Special greetings to my Riki and Holger Linda. I hr missing us here!

My Son Has A Small Blister On His Testie

Big White Day 3: Freezing Fog

was last night it suddenly came out all blue sky and the sun, so we expected a day with a perfect view ... but this morning we were surprised by the extreme fog. Already in the Village and the visibility was minimal in the elevator, we could sometimes not even the chair or the bar directly in front of us recognize. Only by trees could only guess roughly where you are going and whether you are still moving. Most interesting was that the fog immediately froze and we were covered from head to foot with a white layer, every little hair was white. Even the frozen snow goggles too, almost like car windows, and the driving while on his head it. The whole slope was covered with hoarfrost also: several cm large crystals were everywhere.
The lunch break was going fast and lasted unusually long, but then we started it again on the runway after we had seen on a webcam that you could see a lift something:) And it was worth it: the top was some new snow and the slopes were deserted.
is now announced for snow tonight and it was also something going on when we were at bingo in the same time Holger has won a 2-hour course at the Ski School.
Let's hope tomorrow morning on fresh powder!
images of today to follow, if the wireless connection again stable.

Day 2 in Big White

overnight has given it a little further Afternoon Flurries and so was this morning know all wonderful. Right on time at 8:30 we were on the lift and were able to a lot of departures in fresh snow (3-10cm, depending on height) make. Much beyond the normal tracks, but the forest here so you may ride. The little snow pusher has made very noticeable on the slopes, as it was very fine powder. And today it was empty on the slopes. On average we have seen every 5-10 minutes other people if you einberechnet our tree skiing.
After you go then to the Bonfire with Free Hot Chocolate and then the Wii-Night (what should be). And maybe we will look also at what is "Jager & Foosball Mania" in the pub around the corner.
A few more pictures today and 2 videos, whom 's n works.

Disney Land Bracelets

Canada: Travel and Day 1



Hello and greetings from Big White, located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.
Yesterday morning at 9 clock was downhill for me and Holly came and thanks to the nice ride service from the home we Riess problems in Frankfurt, where we still a small parting wheat indulged, and our patience was strained during the operation very much.
The security check this time was surprisingly intense. We were waved out both because of the metal detector beeped even despite put-belt, and subjected to intensive investigation. My shoes had to then go again through the extra-ray machine, and the time was used to intensively check my soles of the feet on bombs and rockets. When I finally was allowed to continue, I was waved out because the laptop in a backpack once again and in an adjoining room, a swab of the keyboard has been evaluated in a special unit: negative ;-)
The flight was very long then (10h) and quite boring, since Air Canada deals very sparingly with the televisions. The thought for us was 5 or 6 rows in front of us ... but at the modest movies that did not matter.
something before the scheduled time we arrived in Calgary, where measures such as our bags in reception and 5 minutes later tasks, because we had to continue flying to Kelowna.
The well-3h waiting time we bridged in a pub rather quickly.
Since we were awake for a long time, went to the 2nd German time Flight in the middle of the night. Therefore, we slept n is both even before the start. Independently we woke up again within 10 min and both thought that we still then would not start because it was so dark out there on the mountains. Holger even complained that it was "not really be" could that we would wait for over 45 minutes now to the start (at the time we just put in to land already;)).
The pickup in Kelowna working with the taxi also perfect transfer, all baggage arrived and the driver sped up the mountains with us.
After a pitcher of beer in a bar, we fell by 11 clock finally to bed, according to German time, then about 32 Clock mode already.
With jet lag, we were awake very early today and were able to prepare perfectly for the first day on the slopes. Breakfast taken more quickly in front of the supermarket and then went out shortly after 9 los. To 11 clock we were almost completely alone on the road. The snow last week, unfortunately, somewhat slumped in itself, since there were plenty of sun. The foundation, however, is very remarkable, we can go wonderfully, except that the powder is missing right now. Departures between trees were also held in heaps and were held in part with Holger's helmet camera. If it works, we will try a cut video on youtube upload.
have to weather a good and a bad night view:
The bad news: there is virtually no snow announced
The good news: it's snowing but the whole day, sometimes more and sometimes less where it is now increasingly in the evening, even down in the village. The report disputes that all things yet, actually we were supposed to have sun today with a few clouds ... BUT we do not complain and are happy with the wrong weather. Hopefully it will not be canceled even ... The only announced "Afternoon Flurries" are now a pretty popular saying has become, which can be used anytime, anywhere.

Now some photos from today (again, we did not yet):
