Bad Hair Day

After some general clearing up of rubbish scattered across my desktop I stumbled across this photo, kindly forwarded by Reedy Boy a while back, taken on a ski trip to the French Alps (Val d'Isere I believe), during the early 1990's. As you can tell I was going through a bit of a bad hair phase at the time, which thankfully I soon grew out of. Thanks for the photo fella!

Ski Condo for Rent in Big White, Canada

Unlike many other blogs my site remains free from advertising and it is my current intent to keep it that way, however, the one exception that I will make to this is in promoting my own ski condo for rent, in Big White, Canada.

As we are now nearly half way through the year, the 2007/08 ski season will soon be upon us, and in this respect I am now taking bookings for my condo for this coming season. It is a stunning apartment (even if I say so myself), with direct ski access to the front door, located in the Happy Valley area of the resort, at the base of the gondola to the Village.

Big White is an up and coming resort, the second largest in BC (after Whistler), approximately a 45mins drive from Kelowna airport. Big White has been voted the best North American resort for families the past few years, with a good mix of skiing and entertainment.




My condo sleeps 8, is fitted out with all mod cons (42” flat screen TV, Bose DVD/ stereo, Playstation 2, X Box etc.), as well as having an outdoor hot tub to sooth those aching muscles after a hard day on the slopes. If you would like to know more or are interested in booking, please click the title of this post or the site within the links section.

Ski Videos Posted

I have set up an account to host videos and have posted some short clips taken during our ski trip to Big White. The clips were taken on my phone and camera so please excuse the poor quality. Click the link below to view.

Big White Photos Uploaded

Well, back in HK after a week of skiing which has taken it's toll on my legs somewhat. Jet lag kicking in nicely from my past two week's travels (HK-Dubai/ Abu Dhabi-HK-Canada-HK), which means I am up nice and early (around 4:00am) and ready to crash out around mid afternoon (much the same as normal there).

Still, at least it means I can upload some pics before heading off into work which have now been posted on the photoblog site., along with some photos from last year's trip. If the sun is out or Gena is at the top of the mountain, then you know that they were taken this year!

On the Piste in the Canadian Rockies

Well, just finished our fourth day's skiing, excellent conditions with lots of snow.
Gena's skiing is coming on really well, only one major incident where she took out another skier in a high speed collision (Dickie Harlow style), which of course was my fault. Thankfully no one was hurt. My skiing on the other hand is rather poor at the moment which I blame on the "high performance" skis I have hired. It is a bit like being given the keys to a Ferrari when you are used to driving a Ford Escort, you really should know what you are doing before you set off. They don't half go some though when you open them up.
Right, time to go now, some poor cover band is making a right mess of "With or Without You" so the pub becons.
Will post some pics when I get back to Hong Kong.
