Sign blank flattening time … making sure I have plenty sign blanks ready to go as we ramp up towards winter season 🇨🇦

Between sign and art print designing the CNC is working on some more ski trail sign orders … and I also managed to 3D print some test parts for other projects 🇨🇦

Completely unrelated to anything topical right now (honest—I’m Scottish; I would never lie), I have a series of Celebrate Canada signs and prints in the works, following our usual mountain cabin and cottage aesthetic.

And, purely by coincidence, I seem to have landed on wee Lake Ontario as the first one. I wonder how that happened…

The four styles shown here will each be available in a choice of sizes, with prepared wording options or something completely personal to you—a memory, quote, coordinates, family name or whatever connects you to the lake. And we are starting with 15 of the best loved lakes from all across Canada.

They’re not quite live on our site yet, but should be within the next couple of days—or less.

Also, on another completely unrelated note, Scots and some Canadians are known for being a wee bit sarcastic. Not me, though. I’m always very serious and I never joke… much?!

Anyway, onwards & upwards! Back to the serious work of making piles of sawdust.

Some cool looking wispy clouds this evening ⛰️ ☁️

It is still summer here in the Monashees, but part of me is already somewhere on snow.
After 47+ years of skiing, that feeling never really goes away.
Which mountain are you already thinking about?

My childhood bedroom walls in Edinburgh were covered in ski racing posters with Ingemar Stenmark and Marc Girardelli being my favourites. Being short I was more in to slalom than the speed events. I managed many a trip to the Alps and the odd full season before landing in Canada in 2003. I still miss the Alps but BC ain’t so bad … especially the tree skiing.

More clouds and less smoke … a very welcome sight after the heavy rain earlier. ❤️

Winter is closer than it feels.

In 100 days or less, lifts will be turning at many ski resorts across North America. Corduroy mornings, first chairs, snow-covered trees and powder turns are almost back.

The countdown is on. Where will you take your first run of the season?
