Surrounded by this, would you ever want to leave?

Revelstoke

I spent last week at Revelstoke skiing. It is a pretty spectacular hill – most vertical in North America – and steep.

Great view of the Columbia River from the top of the Stoker Chair.

Revelstoke Ski 2

During the week approximately 3 feet of snow fell, making it a great week of powder.

Ski Resort

Along with twenty one others I visited Silver Star Resort last week for a week of skiing.  The OFOS Division of the Hanover Ski Club played in the snow.

One reason that we do this is because it’s so pretty.

The mountain tops in the distance are lit by the afternoon sun.  The fog in the valley adds to the drama.

If you stay inside, you miss the scene.
