Revelstoke

The Revelstoke area is spectacular. The Columbia river runs through the valley. Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Mt. Mackenzie has 4400ft of vertical and you can do top to bottom on an expert run.

Skiing Revelstoke

Cynthia and I headed out on a week-long ski adventure to the Kootenays.

Skating with Adam and Erin

William and Robert Attwell

My namesake Robert Attwell on the right and his brother William in Giza, Egypt last year. The travel bug seems to have infected the next generation of Attwells and hopefully will bring them to Canada on an adventure sometime soon! We'd love to see them.

Larry's Weekend

An excellent weekend of skiing, food and drink in Whistler to celebrate Larry's big milestone.

Happy (gulp) 50th Larry!!!!

Alan and Judy

Deenu and I had a great visit with Alan and Judy in OK Falls.

Apex 2008

Well, we didn't win the tournament this year but we did manage to have about as much fun as last year and get some skiing in. Another great adventure on and off the ice.

Apex Pond Hockey

We're off to defend our pond hockey title this weekend at Apex Ski Resort in Penticton, BC. This is a lot of fun with players of all levels and the chance to play hockey outdoors and hit the slopes for some skiing between games. This is the video from the 2007 tournament - it was -10C last year, hopefully it'll be a bit warmer this weekend.

J. Robert Attwell

Here's a cute little guy with his amazing Aunt Diane.

A White Christmas

It was not a true White Christmas since we had no snow on Christmas Eve, but we did get it on Christmas Day and it was a lot of fun.

Christmas

The Christmas Sleepover

We all gather and Mark and Silke's place and had a big Attwell-Cresswell family sleepover with everyone. Christmas should always be this much fun!

Skating in the New Year

Cynthia and I went skating with some friends on New Year's Eve and rang in the New Year at our favourite local tapas bar. A great end and start to the year. I love the red gloves.

Winter is Here!

There's no escaping it - it's cold in Canada. We have had lots of snow and all snowsports are in full swing on the local mountains and the bigger resorts. No complaints about the snow; it's the rain that is a problem. Here are some early season shots from Cypress mountain overlooking Vancouver.

Welcome Joseph!

Angela and Magnus welcomed their third child, Joseph Henrik Clancy Verbrugge. He's a very quiet and happy guy and, based on the size the skis he was wearing at birth, he might be tall.
