* April Fool! Skiing at Mountain Creek has been
extended to Easter Sunday, April 4th & 5th. However we celebrated
on Wednesday, April 1st "April Fool's Day" as if it was the last day.
The photos below tell the story.

* Sunday, March 29th was to be the last day of
the Mountain Creek Ski Season - but the last day has been extended until
Wednesday, April 1st "April Fool's Day". We celebrated on Sunday as
if it was the last day with great skiing with friends, a tail gate party
and some adult beverages to toast the season and the mountain.
Another rotten day in heaven!

* St Patrick's Day was spent on the slopes at Mountain
Creek marking the 90th day of skiing this season. After skiing the
celebration continued at the Irish Cottage and the Vernon Inn with
friends.

* On the day following Valentine's Day we skied our
60th day. The previous week was eventful because we were able to
test access and exiting on the ski lifts at Mountain Creek to support the
Adaptive Sports Program at Mountain Creek we have been working on for a
year. The photos below tell some of the story.
* We got some nice fresh snow on Saturday, January 24th
and more in early February as noted below. This has made the skiing
at Mountain Creek outstanding. Come join us for the fun.

Snowfall at our home at Hidden Valley as of
February 2nd with more to come. |
* Developed a new way to clean off the car after a
snow fall. A large bed sheet is draped over the car held down by
bunji cords. Following the snowfall the sheet is slid off of the
car removing all of the snow. It works great as the photos below
demonstrate. Give it a try.
