Whistle Baby Whistler

well, i will finally be making my much-talked about jaunt to that GREAT NATION TO THE NORTH. known by those in the know... as cana-duh, courtesy of air miles and the kindness of friends.
never before has there been so much forward planning, probably because i am not the one doing the organizing, just following directions.
i will be testing my snowboard skillzzzz on the world's most demanding and possibly, best, ski slopes. god help us all.
