Weekly Photo Challenge – Dense Fog
My husband’s birthday is in early January. He likes to go north, snowy places for his birthday. One year, we decided to visit my sister and her family in Vancouver B.C. Canada for New Year’s Eve and New Year. We were planning to go to Whistler, a Skiing Resort. Upon checking out the weather report; we found out there was raining and heavy snow. Our car was not prepared to drive in snow. My brother-in-law decided to take us to a nearby mountain for snowboarding. When we got there, the mountain presented to us a heavy and dense fog. There was a big crowd doing snowboarding. They might find snowboarding in a dense fog challenging. It was my husband’s first time doing snowboarding. A real challenge to him for sure. My niece and nephew had a lot of fun. They snowboarded to the bottom. Then used the cable if needed, to help them get up to the top of the mountain, and went again. For me, I was a good spectator and a good cheerleader!

Winter mountains with fog can be very eerie and beautiful! You’ve captured this well, Miriam!

What a lovely experience. There is something to be said about the romance of a dense fog.

Oh, I’m glad you see it as romance instead of mystery or scary. There were times I drove through dense fog with a couple cars visibility. That was a little anxious!! I don’t mind walking in a dense fog. We did that in the Key West, Florida trip!

Hee hee. I am silly. It is scary of course. We did this drive in dense fog in the mountains in the Pacific Northwest and I had such a good time. As much as I am in love with blue skies, I do enjoy a bit of bad weather too 🙂

I cannot deny the ominous power of black ice. It must be horrendous.

Yes, it’s tricky to maneuver, kind of doing nothing, let the car roll and slowly control the direction, and gently step in the brake when needed. It’s so very nervous!

We realize from our skiing trip that it feels much warmer when doing the ski. Standing and watching actually froze us stiff in place!
