Skin up from our place to the Mountains

Ski touring in the back yard. This time this phrase is 100% correct. We started from our apartment to go up to Grouse Mountain. It took us about 4 hours. We had about 3 cm of snow in the back yard, quite not enough to do ski touring. After about 15 min. of hiking we could put the skis on.

We started at location "A". Location "B" is the top of Grouse Mountain. It is about 10 km from A to B. To get down we used the Grouse Mountain Gondola. From there we took the bus home. At the end quite close to a zero carbon footprint.
