Back from Big White... Alive.

The snow on the west coast isn't very good so far this year, Big White was our best bet, and so we went. We stayed in Kelowna and took HWY 33 daily to the resort.

Highway 33 sucks. I hit some black ice at 50km/hr, fishtailed, spun 180 degrees, slid backwards to the wrong side of the road, smashed into a snowbank and watched as the snow I displaced fell over a ledge into the darkness below. Luckily there were no vehicles coming the other way (for another 10 seconds or so). The rest of the ride back from Big White to Kelowna sucked too. We saw 4 cars in ditches off the side of the road, and were only able to maintain a 5km/hr speed for a good portion of the trip. The roads were so bad that I slid sideways going at 5km/hr once... The radio anouncer mentioned that the roads were skating rinks, but not the fun kind of skating rink.

Anyhow, we made it back to Kelowna without any big damage to the car, or ourselves which is the more important thing. It's time to go get some food.
