- Went up for a sunrise meditation on ol' east peak. Winds were blowing 60+ at TL and above. shooting cracks pretty much everywhere. Some slab releases even in less rowdy terrain. Suspect yesterday's dry loose is finding itself into a slab with a bit of time and a bit of wind. Skiing was horrible. Knee to waist deep on most aspects that hadn't been pillaged by the Nor-Easterly wind. Probably a better bet to break out the sea kayak this weekend or go to Revelstoke.

- how many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea? and how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free? and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind This is the most important part of my observations today. Go listen to bob dylan.
