Independent Blog for the Baldy Community
I do not have an update on the plans for the slash piles. I was told awhile ago that clean-up funding had been approved, but I don't know if that will be affected by the change of government.
There has been some discreet removal of firewood from some of the piles, as well as some discreet addtions to the piles.
Not so discreet is fresh stuff dumped at the Wapiti Creek FSR. If you want some firewood for next year, it is easy to get at.
I stopped to let a loaded logging truck pass in the canyon this afternoon. I just got a glimpse of something moving below in the shade, and was glad I stopped where I did.
There is more merchandise to come in, but guest services is already well stocked. If you loved the skier and snow shoer posters, there will be a snowboarder and Eagle one coming this season.
I didn't stop to take a photo, but BMR has posted one. Students in the Selkirk College Ski Resort Operations and Management program stopped by today on their ski resort tour.
Baldy has benefitted greatly over the years with graduates of the program working here.
The visitors were first year students.
Second year students do a work term. Baldy is fortunate to have a 2nd year student coming to work here in the winter.
Time will tell, but I am not excited about not turning the clocks back. A few days of adjustment spring and fall seems to me to be easier than not responding to the changes of the seasons.
How much daylight will be left when the lifts close in the early part of the season?
So far the yellow larch needles are hanging on to the trees with the snow on them.
Our thoughts are with Bill, Greg, Carolyn and all the Murray and Crowson family. Laurie Murray is now at rest, after a difficult journey. You were an awesome caregiver Bill, and I hope you can spend some time at the Crowsnest this winter with Greg and his crew.
