Charles - and Big White

Our son Charles is a snowboard instructor. The two photos above show Charles in New Zealand where he goes during our summer (winter in New Zealand). The top photo appeared in Ski Express - New Zealand 2005. The bottom photo appeared in the Otago Daily Times.

One look at the top photo, and it is easy to understand the phrase "Mountain High". I think it was probably taken at Mount Hutt, where Charles has done much of his snowboard teaching (and photography - for Charles is also quite a photographer). It is amazing snowboarding there with the ocean in the distance. For some of Charles's photos, see the New Zealand Snowboard Instructor's Association Instructor's Guide.

Charles is now teaching at Big White in British Columbia - for our winter. Charles we are proud of you - and we think of you often. Good snowboarding!!
