Silverstar

We are now settled in Silverstar and it's great! The house is awesome - very nicely set up and recently renovated. I love the gas fireplace (very new with a remote control!) - you'd swear there's real logs in there. Our flights from Maui to Vancouver then onto Kelowna were without incident and we met up with Laurie as planned in the arrival hall. We arrived about the same time on different flights. The transfer went smoothly, including a stop at the supermarket to pick up a massive order I'd made online, plus a stop at the liquor store for a few boxes of wine! Here's some pics.....

On the mountain this morning for our first ski for 4 years. Note fantastic snowy trees. The weather was great early but got more cloudy during the day - clearing in the afternoon again....
