Twelve of us, including a guest, headed up to Ramparts Hill for a fun day in the sun and snow. With temperatures soaring to 8 degrees and tunes from Bill's 21st Century boom box, suggested by Steve and Gary [where were you, Gary??], we bopped our way to the Browns River lookout. Attire included shorts, tee shirts, Hawaiian shirts and anything green (in honour of St. Paddy's Day). We made our way along logging roads this time in order to take full advantage of the sun. While at the lookout, we stopped for a lunch/snack break and celebrated all things Irish with a shot of Fireball. For Bill, it was a particularly good day as it was free of whiskey jacks. On the way back to the vehicles, and after climbing a significant hill, we were rewarded with stunning views of the Salish Sea and the Coast Mountains. Upon our return to town, we debriefed at the Avalanche for refreshments and talk of perhaps one more trip to the Meadows.
