Burstall Pass ski tour - 28 April 09 : meadow skipping in K-country.  A nice ski tour, but very flat & not much in the way of turns.  I'd recommend taking nordic skis (if that's your poison).  Its almost May but these up-slope storms means it looks very wintery (sheltered areas had really nice fluffy powder).

Delirium Dive @ Sunshine Village - April 09 : the Dive finally opened late March.  the 5cm reported was more like 20-30cm with the wind blowing snow into the Dive.  Its always a tough day at work when one has to ski a foot of fresh at lunchtime!
