We decided that no new snow left not much to add to our experience at K horse so headed for Big White for the last stop. We went through Avalanche Avenue (the road through Rogers Pass) which is the most scenic of all the mountain vistas that we have seen but we are very aware now that hillsides, boulders or snow can come across the road at any time - see pic 1 for an avalanche that had been recently cleared away.

We went through Revelstoke - the site of the next big resort development - a 6,000ft vertical with attached cat and heli skiing. Having gone up the gondola at KHorse with the new President of the development co. who was moving from Stowe to Revelstoke - no shock going to happen there! - we thought we'd check out the site. Lunch in town and visited the sales centre and the existing hill (that closed the day before).

Then the religious experience was fully achieved in Sicamous, where stopping for an ice cream cone led us to the promised land (See Pic 2 above). We are still looking for the three wise men.

After recovering, we got to Big White and scored a huge hotel room in the village beside the lift with a fireplace, kitchen, eating area and a view over half of BC, all for $165/night! Good European style dinner at the Swiss Bear. Life keeps being good.
