Gotta get your fix somehow. So amidst a not very powdery week in the Whistler area and a few days at the day job, we took advantage of the full moon and went for a stroll up to Paul Ridge in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Aiming for anything better than bullet proof, we actually scored some quality ankle deep pow. Not to mention the epic moonlight views and a scrumptious dinner on the Ridge.

We weren't alone. Four or 5 groups could be seen here and there in the distance, little white lights zigzagging down the hill like headlights on a bad night of driving under the influence. Or something like that.

It's pretty cool up there at night, and it was so bright you could have easily shredded some steeps if there were any to be had. Maybe next time it's Fissile by full moon...

Here's a bunch of tacky attempts at night photography:

With all the snow in the alpine we've been reading about on the Whistler site, it was definately time to get up and check it out. The location - Paul Ridge, Squamish. The posse - myself, Marcott, Andre, Mathieu, Tobin, and Shabut. Actually, Andre wasn't really part of the posse, of course he was hung over and even more tardy than us. By the time the crew of early season slackers reached the alpine, there was likely 125cm new, and it was heavy. Skiing turned less turning, and more HUMPING down the hill.

Marlowe dropping in.

Tobin: I think that was the most work every for 400ft of vertical

Shabut: By the way, that wasn't skiing

Mathieu: That was humping.

Andre, Matt and Chabot skinning up.

Can't wait for winter. Actually summer is way more exciting than winter for a lot of reasons right now, but hey, came across this photo, from a trip up Paul Ridge last winter.
