After exclusively using Facebook the past couple of years, the blog was completely neglected.  Unfortunately at one point during a host changeover I managed to loose all of my original posts and shut it down.  I am working on improving that with a goal of adding as much content as possible (new and old favorites).   Feel free to comment and let me know what you would like to see more of.  You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (don't forget to like or follow!).

For this first post I thought I would share some of my favorite images from a recent trip to Chamonix France.  This was the first stop on a month long tour around Europe with my wife Taryn and our 3 month old daughter Anika.  We arrived in Chamonix with warm weather and clear skies which allowed for three days of spring skiing and touring.  I was overwhelmed with the ease of access to the alpine, beauty of the landscape, and the potential skiing and climbing opportunities of the area.  Thanks to Jamie from Doglotion for showing us around for a couple of days and Jeff who joined me from Nanaimo for this part of the trip.
