059/365 – Blue

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Yep, that’s right. I, Calvin Yan, actually went skiing in Ontario. Went up to Blue Mountain last weekend with a bunch of friends. As the Vancouverites in the audience can see from the photo above, Blue “Mountain” can hardly compare to our real ski slopes. But all jokes aside, the conditions were actually amazing the day we went. It was thick, thick powder all morning and early afternoon long. Yes, the runs came to an abrupt halt shortly after everytime I started skiing them, but the snow conditions made the trip worth it. I found the problem I have with short runs is that you spend WAY more time on the lifts than you do carving the slopes. Probably going to be the one and only time I ski in this province. BC, I miss you!

026/365 – Y

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I signed up for membership at the local YMCA at the beginning of the month. It’s been great, I’ve been going to the Y 5-6 times a week. It’s been mostly to go to the gym or play volleyball. I’ve been to the West End one (the closest to me), the Markham one, as well as the North York one. Have yet to go swimming with anyone but I think I’ve made the membership worth my money. It’s definitely keeping me quite active through the winter.
