The cold and snow stuck around for a good bit of the winter, sometimes they were here at the same time. Sometimes I had my phone/camera with me as I skied, walked the dog, and to work.
On a day of work on a new ski trail in anticipation of more snow, I moved a log and disturbed someone's winter lodgings.
This deer has been around the hood for a few years. After a probable encounter with a car early in its life, it has managed to continue to get around despite not learning the lesson to stay away from cars.

Views from the pedestrian bridge over Six Mile Creek. Unusual ice/snow, the start of yet another huge apartment building, and the result of heavy rain switching over to snow.
During one spell when we didn't have snow in town, I made a trip to Hammond Hill. I stopped at Tob's Bench for this picture and I might be mistaken, but I think that's Gibian Hill just right of center.
Local skiing was as good as it gets and even allowed some creek skiing. This was a minor mishap and my feet didn't even get wet.
Inspired by the Banff Mountain Film Festival, I decided to try to fill the unacceptable void of cross country skiing films. It was late in the season, and I only got footage from the last outing of the season in Six Mile Creek and conditions were challenging. This turn is tough under the best of powder and probably shouldn't be tried when it's icy, but I did. For best results, go frame-by-frame between six and seven seconds. I might get some additional footage next winter if we get more snow and a sunny day.
