Justice Delayed is Justice Denied

Well worth looking at, thinking about.

The Paradox of our Age

We have bigger houses, but smaller families.

more coneniences, but less time.

we have more degrees, but less sense.

more knowledge, but less judgement.

more experts, but more problems.

more medicines, but less healthiness.

We've been all the way to the moon and back

but have troube crossing the street to meet

the new neighbor.

We built more computer to hold more

information to produced more copies than ever

but have less communication.

We have become long on quantity

but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods

but slow digestion.

Tall man but short character.

Steep profits but shallow relationships.

It's a time when there is much in the window

but nothing in the room.

My Sister, Cynthia and her Family

Ethan and Trevor with Cynthia, Peter, Tegan, Toby and Oliver. Thanks for the hospitality. We look forward to seeing you soon in Canada.

Australia

Spent the month of May in Australia visiting my parents with Sara and Ethan. We spent some good times walking and we even brought a little bit of rain from BC to Central Victoria.

The Meaning of Life

Wildhorse season over

Another great winter season with lots of good people and great snow. We had fairly challenging avalanche conditions this year which meant for guiding a lot of careful terrain selection and client management. I am looking forward to next winter. This photo of me was taken by Osso of Sci Club Europa from Italy.

Ethan the Jolly Jumper

Ethan

I finish my day and head home to a little baby that is laughing and smiling. Sara is not sleeping as much as I am apparantly (???) but is looking good and doing a great job keeping Ethan healthy and growing. Ken and Jane came down to New Denver to visit Ethan just after his arrival in this world and again when he was two months old. We spent Christmas in Vancouver and Sara and Ethan stayed on for lots of Grandparent time which was loved by all.

I love my job

I take skiers that love to ski to places that they love to ski. I see great big powder smiles all around me. The people that ski ( and ride ) at Wildhorse inspire me. I am thankful to have them in my life even for such a brief moment. I work with a team that know what they need to do and do it well. They too love what they do. We make the very best of what we have and are grateful for that. It is a beautiful world.

Ethan crying for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics

Ethan was out waving the flag when the Olympic torch came through the West Kootenay. The torch came through Creston, Salmo - and Ymir - before ending in Nelson for the evening. It was all pretty funny with the promotional vehicles, the police and the whole production - bringing Canada together....Ymir even had a lone protester - "Environment before Olympics"

More turns at Wildhorse Catskiing

Lots of snow created great early season conditions at Wildhorse Catskiing. We have put in lots of days of great skiing for a lot of returning skiers and snowboarders. We miss having Sara taking photographs and tailguiding. For the alternative Ethan seems to be enjoying his time with Sara.
