Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well!

I have heard it is suppose to snow in Calgary tomorrow. I hope it does and it stays so we can have a great Fall camp.

The one test I saw my friend Gary Whittaker do was the big box test over 90 seconds. He did 102 during that time. Very good power. He did not do all the tests because he had other commitments. I believe he missed the endurance beep test.

I hope you are all pushing hard for your goals! You can do it!

Best Regards

Doug

Hi Everyone,

It was a hot weekend here during the day. Very cool at night sometimes -2C!

The Kelowna ski club had thier physical testing this past weekend. My freind Trevor haaheim is the head coach and I helped him do the tests. Also a good friend of mine Steve Hatch. He was on the Canadian Ski Team as a Down hiller. He just moved back to Kelowna from Victoria, B.C..

One strong master ski racer took part. His name Gary Whittaker. He recieved an award from the Canadian ski Federation as Masters Ski racer of the year! I will give you his results in the next few days.

Makaiya goes to her first day of Ballet tomorrow. She is excited about that!

I hope you are all doing well! I am getting excited about the upcoming ski season!

More later!

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would show you a more and more common Canadian house hold item. I home water cooler! It has a ice cold water dispencer and a hot water dispencer, for hot tea or cup a noodle. The total cost for the cooler and the water is about 2000 yen per month. We like it! The water is very good and has gone through reverse osmosis. Very convenient!

It is the local ski swap this weekend. People take thier old skis to the organized building and basicly price the ski equipement themslves. It is placed out in order of size. This is for boots and cloths as well. This process is done over 2 evenings. Thursday and Friday. The sale starts Friday night and goes through Saturday. The people that come to buy the skis pay a few dollars to get in to look at the equipement and search through all the equipement. There is alot of very old skis usually, but some newer items. The Kelowna ski club organizes the event. My friend Trevor is the head coach. He is going to look ahead of time for skis for Makaiya.

I will let you know how it goes.

Bye for now!

Hello Everyone,

It sure has cooled done here in B.C.. It snowed at the local ski areas the other day! It has been warm during the days so I am not sure if it is still there or not! I am getting so excited about the upcoming season! I know it will be a good one for you all. It seems it will be a good early season camp in Canada and I recomend if possible you come. It is great way to get a jump on the season. I will keep you up to date with how the snow is here.

More soon.

Best Regards

Hi Eceryone,

This weekend was a long one. Chrissy and I had to go to Red Deer Alberta for a family emergency. One the way back home to Kelowna we had to take a alternate route and saw a Canadian Onsen. It looks more like a pool! Waht do you think?

We also saw alot of snow already in the high Mountains. It was very cool in Alberta, so I hope it will be a great early season camp. It will be be the best one yet! I will keep you posted!

Best Regards

Doug
