Bear Valley epic day

Since Monday was a day off for the kids, we decided to check out Bear Valley slopes. We found the ski resort covered by almost a foot of fresh powder with no body in sight.
We started slowly by going down the lower mountain following the snow valley track. After few runs, we headed to the Grizzly and made an epic descent.

Grizzly has only black diamond runs which cannot be groomed.

Benoit and Lucas about to drop down Grizzly.

Pictionary party

Isabelle and Francois came to play Pictionary with the kids.

Lucas teamed up with Francois. Lucas is lefty but with a regular stance (snowboard) where Benoit is righty with a goofy stance (lefty). Go wonder!

Duo violin and guitar

Lucas has just started violin since He wanted to play in duo with his brother Benoit.

Benoit learning the chords.

Benoit turns 8

Benoit has just turned eight years old. We bought the birthday cake at Gayle bakery. Benoit got yet another Lego box.

Mars Mission.

Christmas party

Since Santa Claus could not come at Bear Valley during our skiing trip, He left nice Lego toys at our home for our return.

Benoit finally got the Destroyer.

Happy face.

Lucas trying to make some sens to those pile of Lego.

Castle Rock secret place boudering

Mark Cisco discovered that "secret spot" at Castle Rock about 3 years ago. I could not find the place so Rob kindly gave us a tour about 2 months ago. We probably climb about new 15 problems and have a couple of unfinished business and in particular the prow Atari.

PG with Jeff and Eric

Jeff, 2007 most improved.

Smart phones should be banned from PG :)

Planet Granite

During lunch break, we are getting some fun climbing on plastic holds. Brian, Eric, Pete and more have been climbing together for a long time now.

Brian unimpressed by the prow.

Good balance.

Pete dropping that knee.
