While friends celebrate the first day of spring, we are hanging on to winter, for just a little longer. It’s an exercise in empathy for the rest of Canada that sits in the grip of snow and ice. At least that’s what we’re telling ourselves as we revisit the trails and byways of Big White Ski Resort. Strapping two long boards to my feet and pointing myself down steep hills, navigating white clumps that are trees somewhere underneath, and cozying up beside the fire with a hot drink in hand are my idea of celebrating the last vestages of winter and there is no better place than Big White to get the job done. Happy Spring!
