The wood fireplace has been replaced by a gas insert on a timer and probably a thermostat.

Thanks Arie. Music to my ears:

Hi Roger,
So glad someone is taking over SkierBob's amazing XC Ski site! I have your page bookmarked in order to stay in the loop with respect to conditions. PS. I'm not very good either, but XC skiing sure is a great way to stay in shape and have fun in the winter months :-D
Looking forward to ski season, YAHOO!!!

Thanks very much for your reply ODA. Your prompted me to make a change...
Now when you click the Home button, you will see a COMPLETE listing of all trip reports AND follow-up comments. I've colored the reports blue and the comments red so they are easy to differentiate. The list is sorted by post date (latest first). Click the trip report title and you will see the full report and associated comments.
I continue to show the "Post Summary" button. This is shorter and summarizes just the trip reports. The number of comments associated with each report is provided.
I think this is much more useful. thanks for your question.

Any chance we can see all posts for a given day or week? Or is that available now? Seems like I can only see the comments that I click on.
Thanks for taking this over Roger.

I have had the immense pleasure of meeting Bob on the trails on a number of occasions and most recently while skiing with the Shell and Esso retiree groups. Like some many others who have followed your blog over the years, Bob, you can’t be thanked enough for your tireless dedication in promoting the sport, fostering goodwill amongst those who share the trails and your efforts to encourage all levels to get out and enjoy what winter has to offer. You have been a wonderful ambassador that will be missed

Chuck - I nearly broke an ankle on that little hill last spring when the crust failed suddenly, so I was determined to redeem myself and get some good turns this time.
Roger - The mountains do all the work, I just point my phone at them and let them work their magic!

Fabulous outing. Funny, there was also a guy on the old site named Steve who was always posting crocuses. What a coincidence.
Hey Tim.Coombs, Hwy 66 (Elbow Falls Trail) has the same dealio. Closed til May 15 beyond the falls.
