  • This week, we're getting even weirder on the hunt for snow. Hopefully my ski edges don't put any holes in my cheap old inflatable kayak.

    It is just spectacular around there summer or winter. I keep telling everyone if there is a snow line to be skied then our spicey Master Mountain Touring Powder Skiing Extrodinaire Mr. James WILL find it and slay it. Props to the Family and a special props to the little? sis making it to the Lake. Powder on campers only a few more months till ski season!!!!!! Mucho appreciado my friend!

    Hey the sad fact about watching this is that there is still more snow there than there is in Oz at the moment. We have had about 20 cm of natural snow this season so far 😢😢.
    If it wasn't for snow making we wouldn't be skiing at all.
