A wet and icy walk in the Bohinj Basin, Slovenia, brought us here: Slap Savica. Not everyone was happy to be walking in the rain/sleet, but I thought it was lovely. More about our short trip to Bohinj: http://travelingmel.com/things-to-do-in-bohinj/

@celine engaging her telemark turn. She has improved so much this season. This is an easy run here but she is handily skiing blue and attempting easy black runs. I'm so proud of her.

!0-year-old Anders and I went snowshoeing on the Pokljuka plateau in Triglav National Park. We couldn't see the famed Julian Alps because of the fog, but what we could see was quite pretty. More about our two days in Lake Bled: http://travelingmel.com/winter-lake-bled-slovenia/

While in Slovenia, we spent a few days at Lake Bled and in the Bohinj Valley. We got lucky and were able to ice skate on Lake Bled. The lake only freezes every 5-8 years and this was the last day of 2017 with safe ice. More about our two days in Lake Bled: http://travelingmel.com/winter-lake-bled-slovenia/

The top of Bromont was a winter wonderland today. Ski day is always the best day of the week.

My boys @toesalad and @mypictograph on ski morning.

Night skiing at Bromont with a view of the Monteregie region of Quebec.

A serious winter ascent of 3,580 snow-covered feet with @andersabroad to welcome in the new year. So proud of this kid! And then we took the gondola down. Predigtstuhl above Bad Reichenhall and Bayerisch-Gmain in Germany.

Closed out 2016 with a hike to the Ice Chapel (Eiskapelle) above Königssee in Berchtesgaden National Park - just what I wanted for my birthday :). The year round snow field is carved into a cave by a little stream running through. Happy New Year!

New Years day ski at the Botanical Gardens in Montreal. This was the path I took from my car parked on Rosemont, along the fence and through the northern gate of the park (which is free access in winter). I did most of my skiing on the other side of this fence.
