So sorry to miss it this year. Always such a pleasure to get together with all of you but I'm afraid there is way to much powder here in Valemount that still needs packing down. We've been at it every day for the last week and it seems to magically replenish every night. Just when you think it is under control it starts snowing again. Sure could use some help.
Hope to see you next year.
Chris
