| Nice views and cold weather |
We made the 9 hour drive to Panorama BC in great weather.
Our first ski day is Sunday. Panorama had great groomers, and was real cold. -24 Celcius, which is -11.2 Farenheit. We were bloody cold. Our feet suffered the most. The strange thing, is the other people on the hill didn't seem to be as bundled up as we were.
On Sunday 2/11, we made a trip out to Taynton Bowl. But we definitely had the wrong wax for -10 Degrees Farenheit, yes minus 10 degrees Farenheit. The snow was real sticky and funky. Francine couldn't even drop into C-Spine in Taynton bowl, without serious poling.
On the lunch break, we dropped our skis off at the rental shop for a wax job. Still, we were sticking at the top of the mountain.
Monday 2/12, was slightly warmer, starting the day at only -20 Celcius, which is only minus 4 Degrees Farenheit. Still bloody cold!!! But the sun was out today. It would take a few hours before it came over the top and actually shined on the slopes we were skiing on.
At the end of the day, we did make our way out to Taynton Bowl, hiking to Never Never land. Here, the snow was nice and made us think we should have tried the bowl a little earlier.
We went out to dinner at The Cabin and had a lazy evening. The next day, we had a delayed exit from Panorama, as we evidently left the dome light on in the car, and had to have security come jump us. The battery was so dead, that they had to call in the big gun battery jumper. We drove thru blowing snow thru Rogers Pass on our way to Revelstoke. Hoping for 8 inches of snow in the morning.
