February Ski Trip

For the last half of February break, we took a car trip to explore two ski areas just outside of Vancouver that we hadn't been to yet, and then one in Washington that we had been to once earlier this season.

First, we went to Cypress Mountain, just outside of Vancouver. It was pretty foggy that day, and was snowing for part of the day. By the end of the day the snow turned to rain, though, and those still skiing were a bit soaked!

The next day we went to Grouse Mountain, also just outside of Vancouver. It was a bit foggy there too, but it did clear. Once the clouds lifted you saw that you were actually facing the city of Vancouver.

Finally, we ended up back across the border in Washington at Mount Baker Ski Area. It turned out to be a perfect skiing day - early morning snow followed by some clear blue skies. The scenery at Baker is stunning, with lots of mountains around. We even got to see a rainbow while skiing!
