A day off for me today. With stunning spring-like conditions I was able to escape into the Backcountry with my 'randonne' skiis....over Blackcomb Glacier and into Garibaldi Provincial park...before coming back to civilization at Seventh Heaven. A few shots of our journey... as well as the pristine tracks from the three of us: Mick Peatfield (our landlord), Mark Wittenburg(Whistler Chocolate entrepreneur) and me. I don't think the smile ever left my face today :)
