April 2013 Update - Where have I been?
(February 17, 2013 -Snow Balls in South Carolina)Enough snow in South Carolina to make snow balls.

Visiting my brother in Victoria, BC, on a drive up to Port Renfrew to watch the tide.I have been updating a little, but what's really happened is I've been writing for Digital Journal and not put in a full update here over the winter, so yes, I have been busy and doing stuff and even writing. I did get to teach my neighbours daughter how to have a snow ball fight who had never made a snow ball!. Now it's time to catch up all my regular readers.

First off I've been to Victoria for a few weeks and Whistler to ski twice but not done the photos or updates so that will be coming this month. I went to the Blue Knob, PA epic ski gathering for the first time in a few years, had a fabulous time but I've not done that story or photos. I hit Sugar Mountain, NC as usual, and did a write up for Digital Journal about North Carolina skiing, but no separate write up on Sugar Mountain, guess I have to work on that too. I have been out Myrtle Beach to visit great friends, Jim and Joy Cuff who own the Bear Lake Lodge I took the grand kids to last summer. While heading to the beach a needed stop in Conway, SC had me finding it has lots of historic flare to offer and put up a photo album and wrote an article on the Historic Conway, SC, for Digital Journal. As you can see, I have been busy. Stories or at least photo albums will come in the next month or two of all the happenings to go with the two photo albums that I already added to the photos page.

All this along with getting a new car, some hiking, the Charlotte Auto show, and the Thin Blue Line Ride, 5th annual was this past weekend to keep me busy all winter while I wasn't able to teach skiing this year. You will find the reposted article from Digital Journal on the Thin Blue Line 2013 ride in the news now. Feel free to read either or just check out the photos here.

In November Shutterstock accepted my images for contribution, so I have been very slowly sending in photos to them also. The sales there are quite good I hope to have time to get many more sent in to them.

(February 10, 2013, Whistler Blackcomb, Ruby Bowl)Ruby Bowl, at Whistler Blackcomb, BC.A sneak peak from Ruby Bowl, Whistler/Blackcomb, BC and I hope to get a review article up with information for all on accommodation, terrain and runs.
