Winter around Alma

[FundyBrian]

On my way to the ski hill today. Well plowed, or perhaps you would prefer ploughed, but a bit narrower than normal. The snow bank on the left is a good 2 metres+, 7 feet high. Limits the sightseeing somewhat. The greater problem is that in a storm the wind is deflected upwards and then falls down into the gully that is the road, dumping the snow and filling in the road.

I met my daughter and her boyfriend at the ski hill today for a day of skiing. The ski hill is partway between where we each live.

So now you know what my daughter looks like, or maybe not. Here they are standing at the top of Poley Mountain with quite a big view behind them.
Just beyond them is a sharp drop off suitable only for expert skiers, or those with a death wish.

Wow, truly a kind of fairytale winter in your region. That's what i would like if off for winter holiday. - if it wouldn't be so cold. You won't believe it, but I had to sneeze several time watching your wonderful images. And I thought I'm done with my flue …
But thanks for sharing those great images! It was a pleasure to watch.

Mystery of the dinosaurs revealed! They moved to New Brunswick and froze to death in their first winter.

I had a great day skiing today and didn't make a single picture [emoji33]

Maybe they didn't freeze to death. They might still be lurking under the snow waiting for an unwary snowshoer.

True sign of being "in the moment."

Skiing at Crabb Mountain, 40 minutes north of Fredericton, where my daughter lives. It sure was cold that day (Thursday), the wind was bitter. Face protection essential.

This picture is from the end of the day when some clear sky started to appear in the distance. It had been overcast all day.

Coming out of the restaurant yesterday evening in Moncton I was confronted by this enormous pile of snow. Easily over 20 feet high.
