Surfs Up Sunday

August 21, 2011   


Yesterday when we were out on the hills having a really great time sking in the best conditions we have yet had you could see the frontal clouds moving in from the North along with a swell starting to come into the entrance to Cumberland Bay. We finally left the bowl below Pinnacle pass when the sun was covered by the clouds and the contrast became poor. You can see an interactive Panaroma of the area taken by Ali on Saturday at http://www.amwphotos.co.uk/360panoramas/20110820-pinnacle_skiing/20110820-DSC_3460_Panorama.htm
The internet has been down for a large portion of the time over the last few days due to the snow but I was able to get in touch with Dad for his birthday.


The surf started last night and by this morning there were large breaking waves in front of Everson House. In fact one came up to the height of Carse House passing between Carse and Disco House. If I was a surfer I am sure I would want to be out in the waves with a board! Might be a tad cold though…

I spent most of today reading a book which was very relaxing then my normal 1.5 hour session in the gym after digging out the boatshed door to get into the gym 🙂


As I was walking to the boatshed the sun was setting and it got more and more beautiful as I watched. On the way back the wind had started to get up and the snow was blowing and drifting all over the place. As the wind was behind me it wasn’t too bad.

Time for dinner (which we cook ourselves on Sundays) and the movie tonight is Goldeneye staying with the recent 007 movie nights.
