What a difference a day makes!

Today was mainly bright and sunny, with just a few wispy clouds in the brilliant blue sky. Consequently, we were able to ski over and ski the stunning powder bowls of Lake Louise.

This is 'Paradise' chair lift, above the tricky Paradise Bowl (if this is paradise.....?). This must be the longest mogul field in lake Louise!

From the top of 'Saddleback Ridge', 8,300ft above sea level. It was incredibly windy up here....

While I was taking this shot, a sudden gust hit me from behind and propelled me forward about 10ft on my skis! Fortunately, the sign stopped me from going any further.

This is the view up 'Lynx', a black run through the trees. The bits sticking up out of the snow are the tips of small fir trees...

...and the view down to the bottom. All in all, a great day today, but it did get warm later in the day!!
