Jacqui was not going to come and hit the slopes as she has a worrying spine that is ok now, but a bad fall on her bum could have her bed ridden again, so instead she rented some snow shoes ( think tennis rackets style ) so we both took the chairlift up to Merritts and went for a little walk in the snow so she could take some photos of the snow 
And some of me ski-ing, looking cool in my 80’s suit 🙂
I love going ski-ing, it’s that being out in nature much like surfing, love it so much
We were down below the ski lifts, away form the crowds, so I had to walk back up, so needing a little breather here 
After an hour or so, Jacqui decided she would better off down in the village doing a bit of pre- apres ski activity 🙂
And I went back up 
wind setting in pretty strong now 
top of Crackenback 
And now up the Basin t-bar 
lot of wind blowing snow around and in the windy spots blowing the top layer off leaving only the hard packed snow 
Rock formations at Karels 
Windswept mini gum forest
love all these big graphic blocks 
back country 
just venturing a little out in the out of bounds area 
and as soon as that sun goes it gets so much colder 
only a couple of more runs left before they pack up for the day 
that wind 
creating some sculptures 
time to go down for a drink I think
