Road Trip

Headed up to Valemount earlier this week so France could check out the helicopter job potential up there for the summer. But since we had to go through Revelstoke, we had to stop and ski the new resort. It's a big mountain. Lots of vert. And fortunately for us, we happened to hit it on a powder day. It snowed 6 inches Sunday night and then kept snowing all day Monday when we were skiing the hill, or maybe I should call it a mountain. After all, it is 4,735 feet of vertical. I skied almost 25,000 vertical feet on Monday and wasn't even hitting it that hard. That's like going heli skiing! Crazy. Here's one of France enjoying some powder on her 5th day ever snowboarding. She's doing great. She's wearing my jacket because her zipper broke in the morning.



In the car. My head looking 3 times bigger than France's.
