First turns this winter. Red Heather.
Thanks to my friend Oskar, I was able to enjoy snow the best way possible. On skis. Well I could still go alone, but it's always better to have a good companion. It snowed quite a lot yesterday and the visibility was so so. Tree skiing would be ideally, but better snow was in the open areas. Measured 1.4m of snow close to Paul's ridge.
More adventure on the car approach then on skis. Really slippery on the steep parts of the road last .5km. We had to stop on the steep hill and could't move forward anymore. Started to back up slowly but when the brakes were touched, the car started to slide towards 10m drop. As the car was sliding sideways and gaining speed, I opened the door and jumped out. I was pretty sure this is not going to end up well. But Oscars driving skills brought the car without a scratch to the lower parking lot. Once again this road proved to be one of the more scary ones around Vancouver.
