Last ski day of the year? April 12 2009

Another busy day at Sunshine Village
With a forecast for fresh snow we headed to Sunshine on Easter Sunday. We expected long queues and packed pistes, but in the event the place was dead - due to a lack of foreign holidaymakers coupled with Canadians doing the family dinner thing perhaps - plus it was sunny in Calgary. The morning snow was ice under fresh almost-powder but by lunch time things were good. The extra effort of skiing over icy ruts made a big difference - even super-fit Frans was knackered by 3 pm. The season runs for another 4-5 weeks but I think we'll be hoping for break-up on the lakes well before that, so we can get the boats out.
