We all know I love hockey. Probably more than I love climbing mountains (but don’t tell anyone). I usually like to play forward but on Fridays I play D. I love to score but even more, I love to deliver a perfect pass. Someday I’ll have to get to one of those racing events in Quebec where they skate down mountains in luge-like tracks…until then, I’m glad to say I have a new climb in my future and I invite you to guess which. I’ll release a photo clue each day and readers can guess. First correct guess will get a souvenir from the climb. Post your guess to the comments section below. The climb is occurring in December.

I took an indoor day thus far with the storm and lots of things to do-hope to get out for a walk or shovel before bed. In the meantime, here is my new favourite marsh that I’m exploring in the middle of a snow squall.This tree stopped me for a chat. It introduced me to the sky.The tracks are an invitation to follow. Or not. Go to where they lead. Or not. Open space and big skies beckon. Do I lead or follow? Make tracks or leave them? All big questions I don’t need to answer. It’s Saturday.Today we accepted an adventure invite from the hint of someone else’s ski track. We set out, wondering where the thin track would lead us, and it didn’t disappoint. We skied over several marshes and visited an “off the beaten track” pond. The sun blessed us with its presence for much of the ski and then it hid while snow squalls raced through over and over again.We were up early for today’s outdoor adventure to bike before temps rose & snow got soft. Biked a great loop through #PippyPark & ended with this fabulous view over St. John’s. Having a dose of outdoor time, we’ll settle into work time for the rest of the day feeling centred & refreshed.Marking our arrival at (what seems like) one of the hundreds of Triangle Ponds in NL :-) After chatting with someone, we saw an over marsh route in this Triangle Pond. We skirted several wet areas & managed to connect the route. I love exploring in my city’s backyard known as #PippyPark & continuously answering the question: “Will this (route) go?” Yesterday it did. Some days it doesn’t. U-turns are our specialty.TA’s Facebook Page

Crosby Mountain?
Great guess…but no. Gotta link the two clues together…and they may be a bit obscure so it may take a few more clues…Thanks, TA
Mt Rainier – said it first, sticking to it!! 😉
Another fine guess but not the one!
I’m looking at the first clue and the main focus is the apple . The next clue I’m looking at the bin with capitals on it. This is pretty far fetched so i thought a washington apple and the capitals . Mts in washington . There are 2 Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams.
I’m going to say Mt Rainier in Washington only because its higher.
I’m liking how you’re thinking-starting to put the pieces together-that’s indeed critical but Rainier’s not the one…though it’s coming up often enough that I may have to put it on the list!
Well I figure it’s a mountain to climb from the first clue… and it has a connection with Sidney Crosbie who scored the winning goal of the olympics in Vancouver, and the team portrayed in the photo with Sidney is the Washington Capitals, but the Washington you may be looking for could be Mount Washington, which is very near Vancouver???
Are you planning to climb the highest peak in the north eastern United States… Mt. Washington??
Hey Trudy-you’re working it…figuring out what the first mountain is might help…and what’s on the go on the ice? Mt Washington is a peak I’ve always wanted to do-especially in winter-people often use it as a training climb for Denali or Everest-its summit has some of the most outrageous winter weather!!! Excellent guess but no…it’s not Mount Washington!
