Riding above the level of mediocrity

A "duffshot" is an improperly planted sapling, planted too shallow in scree and not deep enough to reach the life giving top soil. It is usually a sign of laziness and means having to replant an entire plot. It is a reminder to me of doing things with integrity.

SOME PICS FROM WHISTLER

Thanks to K who was our official trip photog!










Good ol' faithful EL - got us (and our gear) there in one piece!











First breakfast as Whistler. Notice how the toast has been shaped to be W's?












My Samson impersonation!



K and I are standing around as the girls go check out a menu. After a hard day of riding in the cold, both of our noses are running. K offers me a Kleenex, taking one for himself. After we both clear our noses, we catch a whiff. A subtle, yet distinct scent. BEEF! We turn around and see Zog's outdoor kiosk. We then see the girl at the counter ordering poutine. We start thinking about apres-ski munchies. But, I had to get one more sniff of this amazing smell!










And here is our apres-ski: Zog's Poutine Canadian. Instant heart attack, but oh so good! Those are chunks of sausages...




















The top of the mountain is above the cloud line, so it was always sunny up here!













Dilemma! Groomed trail or powder run...











This is what I imagine heaven to be like...











I invented a new sport: snow canoeing! You get a full body workout as well as conquering those annoying flat parts!












This is God's country!

We've been having a weekly B.U.M.S. (Bring Uh Meal to Share) potluck. It was started to supplement our Ottawa 1/2 Marathon training to replenish and reward C-Yu and A-Chiu's bellies after we complete our weekly long run mileage. Last night we had B.U.M.S. over at the Yus so that we could view the Camp Timmy's experience on the big screen! It also made playing "Where's the cue ball?" that much easier!

The Chius remain envious! We MUST join you next time!...next year? The Camp Timmy's marketing is REALLY working!
