Sure, you 'could' spend $100+ on skis...



....Or, you could visit your local second hand shop and find a sweet set of skis and poles for 5 bucks!

Bindings by Norweigan manufacturer, Rottefella (literally "The Rat Trap").

I love the write up on the skis, describing the many laminate layers, awesome!

Photo shot at Ski Tuonela last weekend. Have I mentioned it's awesome? ^_^

Snow melting in the morning sun



I was lucky enough to capture this shot of the melting snow, slowly falling off the roof of the main lodge at Ski Tuonela.

Now the people will know we had snow...



The grass might be showing 'down south', but there is still plenty of the white stuff just outside of Baddeck!

This week, I'll be posting pictures from my recent trip to Ski Tuonela. If you love XC, backcountry, telemark skiing and cabin lodging, you MUST check this place out!

The resort is incredible, you will not be dissapointed.

Thanks Chris and Ann, I will be back next season!
