Kodiak's Grouse Mountain


A week ago today I was skiing high above Vancouver on Grouse Mountain. Today I was skiing on Pillar Mountain high above Kodiak. Here on Kodiak, we may not have the big city but the skiing and views certainly compare with what I saw in Vancouver. The ski run on Pillar Mountain actually measures about the same in terms of vertical feet as what was available at Grouse Mountain (around 1200 feet). But Pilar is pretty darn steep (like scary steep) and it's hard to beat the Kodiak seascapes. Now I guess we just got to import some of the Vancouver night life. But let's stay away from the big city commutes - I like eating dinner 1/2 hour after leaving work. Patrick
