Bertl Bikes

And the the snow has been melting. A lot. Apparently this is the earliest end to the skiing anyone can really remember. The resort is due to close on the 21st April, but I can't see the snow lasting that long - they've already closed a lot of the runs. Not that I am complaining, the sooner it goes, the sooner I can be out on a bike! (although, that will absolutely be happening before the snow has all melted on the mountain. Probably next weekend... Spring conditions are fun though, not too many people, slushy snow and being WARM all the time. I've really become a summer person since living in Turkey. I can't go too long without sunshine and warmth any more, I like snowboarding, but nowhere near as much as I like biking and warmth. I need to get out and get some photos, so keep an eye out for a new post soon.  I finished work the other day, got a book and my folding chair out and climbed to this spot and just read until the sun set!

Wipes water off themselves after a shower. 31 years into life, and a habit I 100% developed from my father is done by no one else. Whenever I have a shower or bath, as I get out, I wipe the water off as much as possible, then continue getting out and dry off. No one else seems to do this, but it's always been logical to me. Saves making your towel wetter than it needs to be! I'm sure you'll read this dad, did you know we're alone?

And hasn't been for weeeeeks. It's no fun living in a ski resort with no new snow, despite it being sunny outside. Granted, I'd rather have the sun than cloud, but it's just been so cold recently! If it were sunny and warm (spring conditions!) we'd all be out there chilling in the sun, having a cold beverage and having a grand old time. I'm not depressed or unhappy, work is still reallllly busy, so I'm not bored either. I'm just looking forward to bike season. The onset of bike season highlights just how little money I've managed to save towards a new bike, and how much snow gear I have to sell! I'll get it done on my day off though, not that there seems to be many of those right now either! To offset all this doom and 'gloom', I went to Big White resort the other day with some friends. It SNOWED! It was a great day for the 3 of us. Fresh snow, 15cm's deep, good company and a new resort to explore. The sun even came out to play,
