I will try to not wine or cringe to much but some might expect it. Its that time!!

snow,

elegant blanket

with gleaming cold purity

sharing calm and peace

This is my attempt at a snowy Haiku. It is the start of winter up here in Whistler and I couldnt be sadder. The thought of my lake being frozen for months on end is something I am coming to grips with but never enjoy. Alas, it is Whistler and I should be happy for my snow hound friends that are twitching like the fall leaves falling. I am happy for them but mourn my loss. My temporary loss.

Ha. Dont feel sorry or sad for me because I know where to get my fix. It is a little further and a little colder but with the right gear per usual I will be fine. So, fear not friends, I will be fine, cold, but fine. As for the skiers and snowboarders that are getting excited, well, lets wish you a great year of boundless fields of powder and empty lift lines.

Now get waxing your gear and get ready!!

cheers
