Shhhh, don't ask about vert around these parts! We get crusty! ;)

I' I'm thinking add maple sugar to that and you have a local delicacy.

Hey Gordo you forgot to mention that Sir Sam's is located at Eagle Lake, Hey Gord you forgot to mention that Sir Sams is located at the rhubarb capital of the world!!! Pretty important, I'd say.

FYI, this article about West Wind Highlands Ski Touring is now available online, for free. It doesn't have all the photos attached, as I believe that is a copyright issue. Anyhoo, I can retire now, because my pants made it into a National Ski Magazine...

We don't mess around here in the land of the Northern Reindeer, Moose Milk and the far less known Maple syrup:

East side of Lake Superior is just one big lake effect snow globe.

Twigfest, our annual backcountry ski festival is back on (Feb 5). It's the sixth annual. We couldn't do it last year due to covid (actually, unofficially it happened with just five of us shhh, keep that quiet). SBR and Tele Dave are regulars and help guide the newbies while I chat up all the...

Here's a recent pic of SBR and his dog...Oops, sorry but they were the inspiration for this event poster. lol lol and all that...

Like I said, see some local colour, it was part of the plan with the VIP's.

Well I have to admit you two were the inspiration for the 2022 Twigfest Theme. i'll never live that down.
