I always love how the gusting wind transports the snow, scouring and loading aspects. I don't know what it is about the alpine wind, but for me it generates this strange feeling of eternal loneliness and yet a comforting reassurance too. It's hard to explain 🙂
    @panoramaresort is looking really great going into @panoramaresort is looking really great going into the first full week of 2021. The Toby Creek area received a generous 25-35 cms of fresh snow over the past few days, most of which came Saturday night. In this panorama shot from Sunday mid-day storm clouds still lingered to the west with strong gusty winds producing even deeper drifts. A pretty sweet day for skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. 😃❤️

    I found this handsome dude and his harem on the la I found this handsome dude and his harem on the last day of 2020.  The sun was starting to break through the valley cloud so I headed south to Canal Flats in the hope of finding a cloudy, misty, sun streaked Rocky Mountain vista for the final image of 2020. 

No such luck.  So I poked down a side road, took a left and went a bit further than the snowplow did. "I should have brought the chains," I thought to myself and then around the next bend there he was, waiting!

That seems to happen a lot.  I often get something other than what I went out looking for. I've pretty much come to expect the result to be not what I expected. It’s one of the things I really like about landscape photography.

Happy New Year friends !! Expect the unexpected 😊
    Paradise Basin is situated at 8000' in the Purcell Paradise Basin is situated at 8000' in the Purcell Mountains and just at tree line in an alpine bowl surrounded by towering rocky peaks and ridges. This is the realm of the Alpine Larch tree, which at this time of year has lost all of its needles.  Right now the Larches are covered with snow.  The alpine wind makes a lonely wistful sigh as it gusts through their branches sweeping the powder snow into the air.  They are especially magical when  the light filters through the clouds and lightly falling snow and the ice crystals sparkle in the glades. 

You can visit Paradise on a guided snowmobile tour with @tobycreekadv

    I made a quick visit to the Earl Grey Lodge / CABI I made a quick visit to the Earl Grey Lodge / CABIN Smokehouse at Panorama Mountain Resort yesterday to get a few snowy pics after the big pre-Christmas storm.  They definitely look ready for the holiday season and well prepared to offer a COVID-safe dining experience.  The new menu looks very tasty.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Phil and Clare and all at EGL 🙂

    I don't golf. I never have. It's just not my thin I don't golf.  I never have. It's just not my thing.  From a public safety perspective it's likely a good thing that I don't golf.  But I can see it's quite probable I shall be spending a lot of time on the golf course this winter.

    The family-friendly Fairmont Hot Springs ski area The family-friendly Fairmont Hot Springs ski area may be one of the smaller areas in the Rockies but it probably has the most dramatic backdrop of any.  Congrats @fairmonthotspringsresort on opening for the 20/21 season.
