On our last full day in Nelson, the four of us took a short drive up to the Whitewater Ski Resort, which offers downhill skiing and snowboarding, as well as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. The trails were very beautiful and we only encountered one other person. We wound our way through the woods, past partially exposed streams and snow-laden trees. A beautiful, peaceful, magical place.

I know my favourite things list is ever changing, but I am very happy to have finally fallen in love with snowshoeing. I thought I might like it, but I haven’t had an opportunity to try it in Victoria where snowy days are few and far between. On Christmas Eve morning, while my sis and R were out skiing, GJ and I borrowed their snowshoes and headed out to explore the snowy golf course next to where they live. It was the most glorious day with brooding clouds, bright blue patches, and the sun shining brightly. We saw only a few people out in the distance and it was quiet and peaceful.
