SPRING SPRUNG

Spring Sprung

Spring has sprung with a vengeance.  March never showed up and April was May, so it’s now June at the hut. Great time for a little morning corn and some afternoon delight. The decks are sunny and the sauna is hot. Come on up and kick back !

Tips you too can apply at home for a lower footprint.

End the denial – yes it’s true !  humans are destroying there own habitat – anyone that tells you otherwise is simply living in denial, clue in !

Turn the lights off – when not in use. We all forget occasionally ; do your best.

Don’t let the water run – turn the tap off, most of us westerners live in a desert – green lawn ????? irrigation for decorative plants ???

Leave your snowmobile at home – or better yet, SCRAP IT !!!

Split decision – Perfect corn or dense bouncy powder, the skiing is still good and the Ophir Pass  road is half plowed.

Blast on up for a little spring fun in the sun !

Clues for a happy hut trip.

Hire a guide ! It’s always a shock to see how little good skiing most groups actually get during their stay, a guide can change all that.

More to elaborate on later.

Keep your group small, don’t bring too much crap, leave the bomosnile at home, use sunscreen !
