The Best Trip Ever!

One of my dreams in life has been to go back country skiing. You know, the kind where every run down is knee deep fresh powder? Well this year, my dream came true! Nine of us headed up to a little town called Ymir in BC Canada for some amazing Cat Skiing. We had an amazing time and are hoping to make it back again next year. It was really hard to choose the pictures out of the 2000 that came home with us, but here they are. Enjoy!

Our hotel and the Wildhorse CatSkiing & Powder Mining Company headquarters. I HIGHLY recommend Wildhorse. The guides are great and we got plenty of vertical in each day!

On the third day, we went to a small ski resort called Whitewater. It had 2 double chairlifts! Talk about old school! We had a great time though. We ended up hiking to a backcountry spot and boarded down to the road where Martin picked us up. Drew also tried out skiing for one very long run! You should ask him all about his experience!

Then we went back to Wildhorse for one last day of Cat Skiing. This day was full of looking for every jump possible for Jen to be able to jump off! (Well, and the rest of us too!) Good times!


The VERY happy couple!

Smiles all around!

Maverick's First Hike

Here's some pictures from Maverick's first hike at Peter's Canyon. He's got some work to do, but he seemed to enjoy all the smells, sounds and sights. Not to mention, playing with all the other dogs out there.
