TR: A few photos

When BettyDee died, I told myself I was going to break out of my shell and post some TRs. She was just so good at bringing the stoke. Well, three years later, and I still haven't skied or climbed anything worthy of a TR. But whatever. Here are some random photos from the past two seasons. Not much variety cuz I've been in Baltimore for grad school, but I hope you enjoy.

Edit: somehow in resizing, the photos got a bit blurry. Here's an album with the full res: https://imgur.com/a/ZNjEP

That's okay, there's so much to ski!

Nice!! Where was this?

Glorious looking trip. Nice pics. Yes, where is this?

Thanks guys. The photos are from the past two seasons—like I said, I haven't gotten out much since I moved to Baltimore. Mainly two trips, one to Cham and one to the Purcells.

Great pics and stoke. BettyDee would approve. Way to honor her memory

Awesome. Thanks for the stoke.

FKNA. Clear skies and smiling skiers. Much like BettyDee's.

Thanks for the stoke! She'd approve.

You took Kevino on your honeymoon?

Well, jesski always wanted to go to Cham. BettyDee had invited her for a number of years but she could never afford it. So when we got married, we decided to do 2 weeks of regular honeymoon and then, with my dad's help as our wedding present, we got a larger place for another two weeks and invited all our friends to come stay for free. There were a bunch of people who said they were "definitely coming" when we booked, but kevino was the only one who actually showed up. Edit: actually jesski's brother came and skied for a few days, also.

Great photos! And the snow quality came through as well. Top notch stuff.

Very nice photos and a great tribute to Liz. You and jesski are lucky to have known her.

I can relate to being able to turn one way and not the other!

Great pics and great tribute.

Hellz

Awesome!

Right on man, thanks!

Not so much, no. I've only ski a handful of days the past several seasons, but I've been lucky with some decent weather.

Not sure how small the community is up there in NW BC, but the couple in the middle in the second-to-last pic is Trevor and Mary from Shames/Terrace.

Great photos and fabulous looking mountains!

Boner city!

enjoyed looking at your posts. can't wait for my first try.

Well, you may not have been able to ski much over the past couple of years but nice way to make sure that what you did was top notch. Great photos!

I swear I've seen this picture somewhere else on some random website for guiding or something, just in the past week.

Great TR, way to set the bar high for any first time TR posters, and what a cool way to honor the memory of a friend. Thanks for sharing.

I missed this until now, but I'm glad to have found it. Very, very worthy.

Great pics. Thanks. And my favorite part was Jesski skiing a few months after ankle surgery. My cast comes off tomorrow, so that give me hope for this season.

Just what a rainy Sunday morning on the couch needed! I can't wait to do more BC skiing this year.

Great photos!

What a treat!
Thanks for sharing!!

I did some search about Liz Daley aka. BettyDee.
Seems like she was living her life full and enough to share with everybody else around her.
Never got to know her online, but I am sad she’s gone.
So sorry for your loss.

Trip report looks great auvgeek. Miss Jesski and sad we couldn’t make the wedding. Seriously! We are checking out Telluride for a wedding venue next week. DM with winter plans incoming!

awesome, thank you for sharing
