A friend and I decided to spend a week snowboarding in Vancouver, Canada this spring break. The day we arrived, however, was the same day a storm off the Pacific decided to settle in the area, bringing with it large amounts of fresh snow, but also a thick, low lying cloud cover that smothered the mountains for days. The weather lifted for a few hours, just long enough to see sunlight playing across the water of the Burrard Inlet, Vancouver's port to the Pacific Ocean. Chet Strange
