Beautiful to see and visit but even better not living in it for me - too cold.

I dunoo Ron.. Sitting in front of a roaring fire at one of Whistler Mountain's Resorts, in British Columbia, during happy hour with the snow bunnies has its moments.

Problem is when you have to leave that cozy fireplace and step outside and you fall on your keester when you step on that unseen ice patch.

Then the wind kicks up and blasts right past that parka you're wearing.... or you have to spend five minutes undressing just to use the restroom real quick... I'll stick with the sunshine, oceans, mountains, and desert within an hour drive of each other.

Thanks for the pics, Steve. Nice of you to do that just for little ole me.

I'm still going through them. Had to give my eyeballs a big break.

I wasn't watching, you got me. .. why'd you throw it so hard? Just wait, when you least expect it...
