I found a few more video gems from our Norway trip. Despite being used to European-style driving, the narrow roads and especially tunnels in Norway did take a lot of concentration! Check out this video of a typical tunnel on a secondary road (some bigger ones do have lights and actually space for two cars!) […]

Apologies it has taken a while to get all the Norway photos online. It was a big trip, created many memories and many many photos. A selection of the best is now online in the Gallery! We had an amazing time! Our first week in Tromso – where the sun never sets – was amazing

I realize we are well into 2014 already. The first few months were spent mainly in the snow, with lots of skate skiing, skinning and snowshoeing. There isn’t much that can beat hiking up to the top of a mountain in fresh powder at the break of dawn, then skiing or snowshoeing down to a
As we are enjoying another foot of fresh powder here at Silver Star, the sad truth is that it’s probably the last bit of white on the ground we will see until next winter. It has been incredible, with lots of adventures and time in the snow. My new-found love of backcountry skiing and ski

We just returned from our epic backcountry ski adventure in the Selkirk Mountains. Words can’t describe the magnificent alpine scenery we got to enjoy every day … and in glorious sunshine except from maybe one morning of overcast skies. The skiing was fantastic, and after a bit of time to get my “ski legs” back
Okay so it took me a while to post ALL my 2013 training and racing pictures … but better late than never. I noticed that I hadn’t posted the shots from the Cutthroat Classic (a favourite of mine, over Cutthroat Pass in the North Cascades, WA), a race that once again blew me away with
It has become somewhat of a tradition, our annual trip to Hawaii once the weather turns colder here in Kelowna. We have been mixing it up by visiting different islands, and this year spent a week on Maui before going to Kona for 3 days. It had been 10 years for me since I had
Maui and Kona – another great trip! Read More »
What an amazing trip it has been! If you have not had the chance to visit the far eastern side of Canada, it truly is worth whatever distance you have to travel to get there. We only just scratched the surface with our 3-week trip and have many more things to see. Newfoundland was our
We have been clicking off the kilometres on the bike: First another Golden Triangle in the Rockies, cycling from Lake Louise to Radium to Golden and back to Lake Louise (320km). The weather cooperated, and the scenery just gets more spectacular every year. Then this past weekend we joined the annual Century Ride in Armstrong
Last week I returned from three weeks of road-tripping through Montana and Idaho, catching up with friends and hiking every day. Yes, every day, first in the hills around Missoula and then in Sun Valley, Idaho. The vistas were spectacular and I took quite a few pictures that are now posted in the Gallery. Check
