There's not much snow in Smithers this Christmas so the ski hill has only one lift open and the cross-country ski trails are suffering from lack of fresh snow. But Seymour Lake is hopping with skaters though you can't tell from this photo.
Imagine our surprise when we skied out on the lake to find this:
Yes, a wealthy Smithereen has purchased himself a mini Zamboni and the Seymour Lake crowds will all benefit from it. Here he is icing his personal hockey rink, but he'll also be maintaining the public skate trail that winds around the lake.
I'm a little nervous about falling and rebreaking my ribs for skating, but skiing around the lake was just about right. Today we managed to hit the warmest part of the day after lunch and before the sun falls behind the mountains at 2 pm.
In other news my mom and I had a good laugh.
Soon we are off to my sister's house for turkey dinner.
Merry Christmas!
