Welcome,

My Mom is in Peachland and I get out now and then. I will have to Google Vaseaux ? ( aha , just south of Skaha )

I have used Woods Lake Outside Kelowna. I have seen tracks from others on those lakes but always been alone. Have my eye on Swan Lake in Vernon. Any idea of lake conditions in the Okanagan valley ?

Our Lakes at Whistler are snow on water , on ice. Terrible !!!!!! Must travel to kite ! :ticking:

I think Mom may get a visit next weekend if the roads are passable! I will U2U you on here if I do!

Screemin' on a 2m ! :roll: WooP Woop!

Hey ,

U2U'd you a few days ago. I will be headed to Peachland tomorrow night. I will be checking out this Vaseaux Sunday for sure. If you don't contact me I think I will go to Vernon and Swan Lake on Saturday? Winter fest' is on in Vernon so if no wind ???

BR - Can you poke around and see if the ice carving is happening in Vernon this weekend? If so, let me know when you get back so I can get current contact info to them for next year. (Staring up on my bookshelf at the People's Choice Award from 2008 or 2009 I think.) Took a break when we were pregnant with Anna and need to get my name back in the loop.
