Oz,

Welcome back! I missed your sarcastic slants of ou discussions.

Glad to hear you had a Ball. Ah! the ways of the Wealthy. You did miss
a lot of Great Skiing by not taking in the Great Northwest. Our Resorts
have had great snow this year. Mount Baker has a 20 foot base and
Bellingham still has sailing weather (Off & On)

Settle in Oz and then let's see some pictures.

Welcome Back;
Ole Thom

Missed some pretty good sailing too, although right now
probably isn't the best season.

Thanks Thom....thought of you a few times while I was away..hate the

Old saying, there is a time for every thing.

West coast was superb, bays and offshore showed plenty of yachts.
We sailed in T shirts a few days back!!

Pics will follow...1000's of them...digitals are just so easy and
cheap!


Remember Bubble's Law: if you don't post lots of pics and
brag loudly, it didn't really happen!

And even then it probably didn't happen.

Lack of proof never stopped bubbles from making claims. Claims to be an
"expert", sailed dozens of boats, not a single picture. Myself, if I wanted
to be an expert, would take as many pictures as I could manage, for a
database if nothing else.

I did Max....nice place to visit......

The Tahoe area has some great skiing, and the scenery is beyond reproach. I
haven't skied any of those resorts since my pro ski patrol days, when I made
the rounds teaching explosives and avalanche control to patrols at three of
the ski areas there. We plan to ski Canada (BC) this coming December, and
make a side trip to one of the Tahoe areas, but haven't decided which yet.

Yep, Tahoe is pretty cool, I can highly recommend Sierra (my son's
planning on applying for an instructors job there next winter during
his summer Uni break)
Where are you going in BC?

We've already booked into the Fairmont. We have several options for
skiing--haven't decided yet, or may try them all. We're mostly going for
the scenery and the hotel--we hear it's magnificent at holiday time.

Spoke to a mate on Monday and he's invited me to come along on a
blokes ski trip next winter.
He owns a condo in Whistler so we'll be doing those two mountains
mostly and will be there after Xmas and first 2 weeks of
January....not the best time but ......

Busy time, but the snow should be pretty fair. I like Whistler a lot.

Fairmont Springs resort of Fairmont in Whistler?

Fairmont Hotel in Banff Springs, BC. Never been there, so I can't give you
any more details than that. It looks wonderful in the photos, and on the
travel piece we saw on TV.
