Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

We've seen a fantastic start to the season with a cumulative 430cm (168 inches) of snow, and 35cm (14 inches) in the last 48 hours. Neither of us have ever experienced this constant snowfall and Mark has started having fun in the powder.

In the last ten days there has been one glorious sunny day, which happened to coincide with Mark's day off, so we went for a walk in the sun. I've tried to capture some of the scenic beauty that the white fluffy stuff brings

Even the snowmen here like to party :-) 

In Olympic Plaza last year, the snow mound was only big enough for kids to walk up and sled down one side. This year, the mound is already large enough for 3 sets of steps to be cut into it and at least 4 slides of different steepness for the kids to sled down. And the snow has kept on coming, so this is now larger than it was when I took the photos.

More volunteering opportunities for me this week including participating in a yoga class with Whistler Adaptive Sports Program and running the coat check for the Arts Council's amateur dramatics production of the Chairlift Revue (which I got to watch too). Tonight we're helping out at another charity event in one of the bars (Buffalo Bills) for Whistler Adaptive. I'll be selling raffle tickets and persuading people to part with their money (which I seem to have a talent for) and Mark is running the silent auction. We're certainly meeting a lot more people this year and having lots of fun at the same time :-)
