Here comes the rain...
Rain, rain go away, please come back another day...yah, right...not here in BC. It seems to be the 'rainy season' officially now...pouring pouring rain and gray cool weather. This is what it was like last year when I came. It just rained non-stop. And it's back full force again, after a great Spring and Summer. It seems to also be the 'talk of the town' as soon as it starts. That's the conversation piece among everyone these days. I actually enjoy Ontario's and the East Coast's Fall season much more. It's more gradual and the changing colours of leaves is more gradual. And it doesn't rain so much. But of course, the winters there are much colder and not so enjoyable.
In other news, I will be back home visiting in early December to attend a friend's wedding :) But because of this flight, I'm not sure if I'll be able to fly home for the holidays now :( maybe Chinese New Year in Feb...
Cypress Ski Pass
Well, with all the rain coming down, once the weather gets colder it'll start snowing...!! Dangerous for the winding roads and driving here, but great for skiing! This year, I bought an Adult Lesson Plan Night Skiing Pass at Cypress Mountain. I bought it with a group of people (discount!!) and it's a season pass for 1 night per week during the ski season (that is self-selected and fixed, eg. every Mon), includes rentals and 5 day ski passes with 5 adult ski lessons (for any level). The cost of this pass after group discount was only $342 (after taxes) for the whole year. I think it's a great deal and will give me something to look forward to each week in terms of fitness activities :)
I had been looking into other leisure activities recently but with the added/2nd clinic location, my days are packed otherwise and because I work until later in the day, I can't make it to some of these classes/events etc. I was thinking about some form of dance (hip hop, bellydancing), some artsy/craftsy classes, some cooking classes, and more...but I can only do so much right now :P I'll just focus on the skiing for this winter :)
