December in photos

The last month or so has held splendid times in the mountains with friends, a really great Christmas was had too with food, family and pals. Yesterday was spent in the decorated halls of the Alpine where I got the chance to join some good friends on a traverse of Little Sifton in Rogers Pass. I have wanted to do this trip for years but everyone I know has done it already and being the relative "Pass" newcomer that I am I was tickled pink to venture up high on a wonderful spring like day in december to soak up the scenery, smell the warm pine trees and ski stellar powder slopes to the highway for 1200m.

Little Sifton Traverse magic. I must say that I am really excited for spring skiing already, the feeling of warm winter sun in the mountains and endless possibilities for big traverses keep me going day after day.

Hermit Alpine, Jeff Mac putting on a clinic. Always a great day skiing with this guy.
Can't say where this is but its good!

We will ski that.
