The skiing season is pretty short this year due to the Olympic. The Sea to Sky Highway is closed during the games for normal traffic and hotels in Whistler will be ridiculously expensive. That means I have to use up most of all my ski passes before… [...] This year, February is very warm and dry. Whistler is missing at least 1 meter of snow fall compare to February of last year. The snow condition of last few weeks is so bad that even a hardcore skier like me don’t want to go skiing. Finally,… [...] Today I am trying to learn a new way of skiing mogul. Long time ago, my ski instructor told me that are two ways skiing the mogul runs. The first skill is easier, you go on top of the bumps, use the bump to slow down than make a turn by going around… [...] 
在離開溫哥華市個多小時車程的滑雪勝地威士拿(Whistler)中﹐每天有數百隻可愛的小動物過著沒有自由沒有尊嚴的生活。狗拉雪橇是威士拿當地旅遊工業的一項重要活動﹐遊客只需要花數百元﹐便可坐寫意地坐著狗拉雪橇﹐在效野山道中遊覽雪山景色。可是這遊客沒有顧及狗隻的感受﹐他們高高在上的人類中心主義﹐勞役著那些可憐的雪橇犬﹐與狗拉雪橇公司一同剝削犬隻。狗兒在嚴寒的天氣中﹐要拉著載著肚滿腸肥的遊客﹐連控狗員起來幾百磅重的雪橇﹐在崎嶇的山道上吃力地奔跑﹐慢下腳步就立即受到控狗員的喝罵。那些雪橇犬以時速十多公里拉動雪橇奔跑﹐走得氣喘如騾舌頭也伸了出來﹐遊客舒適地坐在雪橇上的開懷大笑﹐正好滿充足了遊客的權力慾和消費慾。… [...] 今個週末跟女朋友參加UBC中國同學會的年度Big White滑雪團。 去那一程就比較辛苦了些﹐抬著行李搭了個多小時的巴士入去UBC集合。 這次滑雪團十分聲勢浩大﹐總共有八架巴士四百多人。… [...] Today is a rough day for me. First I went to Whistler with Chris early in the morning and the condition is not very good. The mountain is very foggy with low visibility, the snow at the top is ok but down in the middle is all slushy, even worse it’s… [...] Today I had my second run with my new ski. It’s great! I feel much better this time than last time, I guess my boots is settling in and my muscles is more used to the ski motions. It’s a bit unusal that today only four of us went to Whistler,… [...] |
