Finally downloaded all the images off the camera, so here are a few.

Tobin and Nick chillaxin' in their fort

Getting ready for bed, Nick looking like wise and amused. Tobin saying "I wanna see!", the same thing he says every time I take a picture.

Tobin and Coen riding the gondola. Tobin looks like a deer in the headlights because I told him there was a deer down there, the only way he would look at me.

Same day, getting ready to rip up the magic carpet!

Super-awesome magic carpet. Evidently the only reason to go down is so you can ride the magic carpet back up.

Some scenery: Grizzly Peak and Grizzly Chute

Looking towards Abbott Ridge, Afton and Bonney in the distance

Troy, working his way to the top. You can see Roger's Pass 1300m below.

Salvation!

We've entered a blissful stage of our child rearing lately. In the nick of time I might add, if sanity was a publicly traded commodity ours would have been totally worthless.

In the last 10 days Tobin has toilet trained himself and Nicholas has decided that it's better to sleep 12 hours a night than to get up every hour. I doubt either of these has anything to do with the quality of our parenting; on the contrary, Nick's strategy may have been one of self-preservation.

"Rollin' in my 5.Bowl"*

Protective older brother. Or is that a choke hold?

Mr Mobile

*Reference to a really lame white rapper from the 1990's. Can you guess who it is?

Major A.B. Rogers

I just got this really great book called 'The Great Glacier and its House'. It's all about the history of mountaineering in Roger's Pass as well as the history of the railway line. A good read and filled with some inspiring characters. Many of whom had mountains named after them. Major AB Rogers was one of the early surveyors who has been credited with finding the way through the Selkirks. Hence Roger's Pass. However, there's also a peak named after him and it's a classic ski mountaineering objective. I skied this yesterday on a bluebird, cold, windy and deep pow day. It was amazing. Skiing right off a 3100m summit 1900m to the car was a real treat.

A foreshortened view of Roger's on the left, Fleming, Swiss and Truda on the right. We skied the giant snow face.

Roger's is one of the highest around so we were looking down on everything except Sir Donald and Bonney.

Tupper, MacDonald (Sir John A) and Sir Donald

I forgot the camera so used the 'camera phone' to take these lousy images.

Point of View Awesomeness

Inspired by all those helmet cams you see on the ski hill
