New Year's Day

We decided we wanted to go to Big White for some New Year's day riding. We left from Kris and Adrienne's and took the back road. The road we took is the Okanagan Falls Forest Service Road. Needless to say this was no highway. Its a road that one would need a 4X4 for in the summer, but with enough snow, and when plowed is somewhat better. Unfortunately at the halfway point where the road splits it was no longer plowed. It took us over 2 hours to get to Big White. The drive was fun, but we really weren't sure if we would get stuck or not. Before leaving we made arrangements for Kris to come looking for us if we hadn't called in 2 hours. When we finally got some cel reception we called to let them know we were okay, and Kris had just left. Luckily he had only gotten as far as the gas station, and Adrienne called him to come home.
When we did arrive at Big White it was well past noon, and the mountain was fogged in. As most know, its just not worth it when Big White turns into the Big White-Out. So we turned and headed back to Kelowna (on the regular road) and caught up with Dave for a burger and a beer before heading home.
