Most Popular of 2008

After two great weeks off, I’m back on the blogging bandwagon. I managed a week in Edmonton, three days up skiing at Big White, and my very first proper shift as a Ski Patrol.

I’ve been reflecting on the past year, and a 2008 Year in Review will follow shortly. In 2008 this blog went from nothing to 7,679 visits, generating 17,660 views, from 63 countries. Based on the average, that’s just over 305 hours of time on site. 

Enough of the random analytics…here’s a 4×4 of my most popular posts. Why 4×4? Try driving up to Big White in a snow storm with out it….actually it’s four posts for four types of popularity.
