Chinook blast

It’s certainly been chinook after chinook the past few weeks, so the Chinook Blast winter festival last week was aptly named!

Illuminating the skaters

We went over to the Eau Claire site last weekend to check out the lights and watch skaters on the pond. It wasn’t super cold, but cold enough to have the lagoon reopened for skating after days of above zero temperatures.

I’ve included a few photographs of the lights – nighttime photography isn’t a strong skill, but you can get a sense of the shapes and colours, and the different installations were fun to see!

Since the weekend, temperatures have plummeted and the snow has returned – it feels like winter once again. Maybe we’ll ski in a local park if the white stuff sticks around…

Tropical?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I am a would be outdoorsman - that is if I had more time, skills and knowledge. When I can, I love being outdoors, just camping, hiking, snowboarding, xc skiing, snowshoeing, paddling a canoe or trying something new. What I lack in ability, I make up for in enthusiasm and having a go. I'd never really survive for long out there in the wild, but I enjoy pretending I could if I had to...

One thought on “Chinook blast”

  1. All the light installations are gorgeous!! When we lived in the US my daughter often asked me if we could go to Reno, only so that she could enjoy the lights from her favourite hill where you see the whole city. I usually indulged her a few times a year.
