What Are You Doing Right Now? (190 Viewers)

[Dostoevsky]

Dependent on stage of our projects, I work outside in the winter quite a bit. It’s really not that bad. And we have those 5°c, often rainy winters @Seven was talking about. The mountains are where the snow stays in this part of Canada.

I know quite a lot of people who spend all their free time in winter out backcountry skiing/snowboarding, ice climbing, hiking, etc. I think it depends on what you do. It would suck to go sit in a park and read a book in winter for sure. But lots of fun activities.

I agree but I think that's a lot related to the country as well. I think plenty of people would do that in Canada to. Over here it's not really available unless you go to the mountain which are very expensive, so that fun stuff is quite limited here in the capital. It basically narrows down to bars, pubs and such places. I really love walking and I find it depressing seeing whole town empty. My boots also suck so I have wet feet most of the time which makes me hate it even more. But like Dai said, having camera is really a nice thing (not that fun when you feel hands frozen so I don't even feel the buttons that I'm pressing lol).

This could really be said for anywhere in the north though

Not here. Vancouver is known as the rainy city for a reason. Winter’s are wet. Thankfully you have endless mountains surrounding and ski hills literally in the city to escape the rain and play in the snow.

Do you still build those beautiful houses? I think such place is a dream of mine to have. Just looking at them makes me hard like that wood.

Need to pull a Lucien Favre and wear freezer bags in your shoes to keep them feet dry @Dostoevsky

Yeah. We’re building a place right now to ship to Georgia (the state) in the New Year.

Do you have some fap worthy pics (...of those houses)?

Park City is dope. Wasatch Range is amazing. Still not sure I’d want to actually live in Utah. Beautiful… but dem mormons

my Mormon boss got us in trouble at the Christmas party by bringing a cooler full of beer into top golf and having a shotgun challenge between the different departments

Maybe I'm weird for this, but I quite like rain too . Just have to dress properly of course.

I put my son on football basically the day he got 3 years old. I’ve been passing the ball to him since the day he learned how to walk. In the first months training each Saturday was a bit messy, he didn’t understand the principles of waiting for instructions and doing certain exercises, so he just started running around like a headless chicken.

Now 9 months later its so fun to see how much he improved. At training since a few months he understands what he has to do, coordination also massively improved. His aim (while passing) got much better aswel, although for shooting obviously it’s early days, doesn’t have the power yet to make a decent shot, let alone aim it. I try to stimulate it a bit more with brining a ball with me whenever I’m able to take him from kindergarten or if we go outside together.

Mid-term goal is definitely getting a coaching license and becoming a trainer at a local club (with him obviously in my team). Its quite common here, at least from my reference point I always had trainers and their sons were always part of the team. Really fun reliving my old memories with my son, I’ve been passionate about football ever since I can remember, to time transmit that addiction to him. The only difference is that I got in touch with football when I was 7 or so. Any other fathers here who practice sports a lot with their children?

My uncle lives in Vancouver and does complain about the rain. Which is surprising enough coming from a Belgian.

But even then the immediate surroundings just cry out to go hiking. And the mountains are very near.

I always thought those old European cities and towns looked beautiful in the winter, at least from pictures

They do, but cities are mostly interesting because there is stuff to do. You want to go to a bar or enjoy a nice meal.

Wandering through a mostly abandoned city in drizzling rain is just depressing.

I hope he'll make it and joins Juve one fine day, so we can all shit on him together.

Yeah. I mean, you can catch regularly city transit to 3 different ski hills with about 350-600 metres vertical drop. It’s pretty convenient. And pretty amazing hiking around all of them. And climbing too. And then Squamish and Whistler are just a short drive away.

The rain has been ridiculous this fall/winter. Almost every day. Last winter was filled with beautiful 10° sunny days.
