This is a little pond next to the highway on my drive to work. I risked life and limb and got “slushed” walking along the narrow highway to get to a good spot. I’m glad I did, though, as the snow has all melted today.

365 Project – Day 166
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010365 Project – Day 164
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010What can I say? I was hung over. I’d been to work. It was late. I was tired. This is all I could manage.

365 Project – Day 165 – 30cms of snow!
Monday, March 29th, 2010Living and working in Whistler has the added benefit of the “20 cm rule” – you can ditch work / turn up a little late if Mother Nature throws 20cm or more snow at you overnight. Today was one of those days. I had time for a couple of runs. It has to be said, though, that this late in the year the freezing level was quite high and the snow was wet and heavy: I had trouble turning and found that falling over sideways was my only means of stopping. I think this photo portrays that quite well.
This is the face of 30cms of white stuff!
365 Project – Day 163
Sunday, March 28th, 2010Today was my turn to race the Peak to Valley. 5.5kms. 160 gates. Ruts the size of the moon! Ugly. My worst ski race ever. Rob did well though with a time of 7:02. We sat in the sun and had some drinks (honestly, there was sun!)

Mmmmm.......chocolate!
365 Project – Day 157
Monday, March 22nd, 2010With a series of bangs that you could actually feel the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics came to an end. It has been quite a ride for the last 6 weeks, and the previous 7 years of anticipation. As I walked through town today and watched as they stripped away all the colourful wraps, and took down all of the staging, I felt a sense of loss. In addition, of course, a sense of achievement and pride. Wow!
