If February 12 hadn’t been so blinking busy, what with all of the other Spirit Festival events, I might have made it up to Monashee Hut for the annual Moonlight Ski. Unfortunately I didn’t. But The Current was lucky enough to be provided with pictures from Parks Canada taken by that incomparable photographer, Rob Buchanan. Rob’s images are always excellent and are much, much better than anything I could have produced.
Thanks, Rob, for allowing us to use these:
