Yukon spring
Spring is finally here in the Yukon! Another winter has passed, the snow is melting, and the infinitely long days have arrived.
April kicked off with a spectacular concert at the Heart of Riverdale. I got to plan an entire concert of new music in a theatre that was packed to the brim with people! I was a little emotional at times to be finally creating real live music after so many years of putting off concerts.
Skagway
I then ditched the trumpet to get some spring skiing in, ripped to Penticton for 5 days of great climbing, and hosted a few visiting friends from down south.
I wanted to give them a jam packed Yukon experience so we took them to Skagway, led them on a little backcountry touring excursion and showed them my favourite local spots. It was a great week that culminated in the Funk Is Tight, a Price is Right tribute game/show hosted by local legends Major Funk. Emma got called up and raked it in with her superb knowledge of Superstore prices.
