Bouldering at Castle Rock secret spot

Brian, Joel, Rob, Lucas, Benoit and I went to Castle Rock. The weather was more like summer and we enjoyed our bouldering session.

Benoit learned with his development team how to jump the corniche at Bear Valley. It's a blind jump where you cannot spot your landing until you drop. Benoit was unimpressed by the jump (not like his dad).

Stuck at the Grizzly lift chair

After we made it through Snow Valley, we got stuck for 2 hours at the Grizzly chair which broke down.
Bear Valley gave us free drink and lift chair tickets.

Skier and boarder killing the time at the Grizzly chair.

They made us walk to the next lift chair but it took them a very long time to make it work.
Note the Telemark skiers on the back ground. They usually go down way left and low and hike up to the lift chair.

Claire on Snow Valley

Claire boarded down snow valley for the first time. The run is steep and scary but She made it safely to the lift chair.
