So it seems appropriate to share ski related topics on this cold snowless day. Also, I have heard that in Oregon there is deadly flooding with loss of human life (a car with occupants got overtaken by a small urban creek in a supermarket parking lot) and probable property damage. In the North Bend/Seattle area, freezing rain that is making the entire Pacific Northwest suffer with Sea-Tac Airport closed up tight. Hope a lot of people can just stay at home and the rain will stop.
Mark is fixing the heater in our truck and I'm not going anywhere until that happens! We'll be heading south when the weather gets a bit better! Meanwhile, we are having a great visit with his folks and I'm remaining sequestered in the wetlands of the Shuswap.
These guys probably couldn't handle a bunch of turns with their skis, but they look good going straight downhill (if you call that a hill).
Time to brush up on the finer aspects...
And now - modern digital heros of the sliding industry...Rest in Powder http://vimeo.com/32952177 is an independent snow film about a group of friends from the Kootenays. In the film we are skiing and snowboarding in our favorite zones, in the mountains, in powder. The film is a visual narrative of our snow experiences. It draws influence from our favorite aspects of rockstar and soulful sports films while emphasizing atmospheric and aesthetic detail.The film is entirely independent in that it is intentionally advertiser and distributor free. It is not powered by energy drinks or corporations, and it is not trying to sell you anything, but if you like what you see, you can show your support by sharing the website with your friends, attending (or hosting) a premiere, ordering a DVD (in minimalistic recycled packaging, quantities limited), or donating towards a DRM-free download (using open-source software, not itunes).
