Brrrr! Well February has given us
the coldest days of the winter but it
has also given us some beautiful
scenery. The skies have been blue,
the sun has been bright and ice
crystals hang in the air giving the
horizon a magical sparkle.

Joe Weiss named Marmot Basin
in the late 1920’s and acted as
guide to cross-country skiers from
Whistler's Creek via Caribou
Ridge. Then in the 1950’s Bill
Ruddy and Tom McCready
lobbied for a road to be built from
the highway to Marmot Basin.
Bill then ran a bombardier snow
cat, transporting 15 passengers at
a time to Marmot Basin.

eclipse along the Icefields

An eclipse of the Moon
can only occur at Full Moon,
and only if the Moon passes
through some portion of
Earth's shadow. That shadow is
actually composed of two
cone-shaped components, one
nested inside the other. The
outer or penumbral shadow is a
zone where the Earth blocks
part but not all of the Sun's
rays from reaching the Moon.
In contrast, the inner or umbral
shadow is a region where the
Earth blocks all direct sunlight
from reaching the Moon.

The year of the Pig is very
auspicious in Chinese culture.
The chubbiness of the Pig
indicates prosperity. Wild boars
are known to be fearless and will
run headlong into any situation,
usually winning out in the end in.
The Pig was the last animal to be
added to the Zodiak.
