Bring on the visitors. Whistler is amazing. Especially when it gets to -25 and nobody goes on the hill. I made 4000' runs last feb without seeing a single person on the hill. Best groomed snow of the year. And...Thanks for the compliment. Still working on the next 1/2 of life.

I took my family and we did a 7 day hike around Mt Blanc. started out in Chamonix and hiked around the south end of Mt Blanc, then to Italy, over into Switzerland and then back to Chamonix. An average day was around 18-25km with about 4000' of elevation gain. We carried a day pack and food, and had our bags transported to the next hotel. This was a 10/10 adventure.

Hopefully its not too late to get in some more summer reading, as I just got my book published. It is called Beating The Impossible and you can find it here: www.donschwartz.ca Any fine bookstore will be able to order it in for you as well. It's a story of the my life in the snowboarding world, extreme sport, comebacks and a life with PTSD.

Thanks Dredman. I appreciate the kind words. Snowboarding has been the main piece of my life since 1984 and I'm excited to share it with the world. There have been a lot of ups and downs in life, and thought the stories in the book would be great inspiration to others and especially those that have faced hardship and trauma through their lives. Phil, you'll have to come to my house to scam a copy off me. I will sign it though.
