JAn 17, Revelstoke: The Mountain



So far I'm living like my obituary will read: "He loved skiing and the outdoors......." I'm determined to refocus now that I've set my final "vertical descent record for one day" here at Revelstoke: 52,190'. That's like skiing 32 times top-to-bottom at Brundage.


1)  Still standing at the end!
2)  Altimeter/Ski Watch used to record vertical descent.  Only an engineer would buy something like this.

  2. Bruce,
    So glad to see your site is up and running. Love all the pictures! Your coverage of local attractions as seen from the perspective of an engineer is great. My favorite photos:

  3. Boy...not bad for an old guy! Seems lonely, though. I think you need your gorgeous blond ski buddy! Too bad she's holding down the ol' fort.
    Have a blast, Bruce.
