Looks like Mother Nature's cooperating with us (if you like snow, that is!). Although there was a bit of a melt last week, due to higher than average temperatures and rain, we're back to seasonal weather... and have received a good blanketing of the white stuff! It's Monday Feb 1st, and this morning's forecast for the week predicts Thursday to be sunny and about -2 degrees Celcius... perfect for NetSki!

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone "on the slopes" on Thursday.

Last year the perfect conditions for skiing made me envious of the skiers - of which I am not one. Fortunately the indoor event was great fun and interesting. I thought about taking up skiing again this year, but then after I nearly got sick at the theater watching Avatar, because of my fear of heights, I remember how much I prefer to learn.

Good evening everyone - less than 12 hours away from BNI #NetSki Day. Looking Forward to connecting with past, current, and future friends. Big Tip for anyone who is coming skiing / snowboarding: Tomorrow temp will make it cool in the morning warming up throughout the day - so put on layers. Also, make sure your gear is ready to go!
