A few months ago I committed to my wife and daughter to take a vacation. Oliver, BC was a natural choice since we could stay for free and visit with my 100 year old grandfather living there. Also we had Mt Baldy at our back door for family skiing and Apex Mountain not far off. So after Christmas in Vancouver Grandpa Jack need a lift home so I packed my two pairs of Tele skis, the family gear, picked up Grandpa and off we went.
Really, it never is that easy to leave home. We acutally missed the 930 and 1030 ferries, stopped at Sport Chek for Wilde's new helmut since the old one shrunk and were 2.5 hrs late picking up Grandpa in Delta, BC. He was patiently waiting by the door with his coat on, probably for the last 2.5 hrs.
The drive was great, no snow. The next day we rose late, puttered and made Mt. Baldy for 215pm. They acutally sell last hour lift tickets for $12 so can say we skiied that day. We got up Sugar Lump and the Baldy lift once each. Skied the glades, assessed the packed powder. Life was good.
It's not a big mountain, but it's local and a laid way back family place.
