Blue Bird

Blue Bird

A bluebird is a member of the thrush family of birds and is indigenous to North America. However, with the decline of bluebird population in the 1970's, sighting a bluebird on Vancouver Island is a rare occurrence. Of all the members of the bluebird family, the Mountain Bluebird is perhaps the most brilliant. The males of the species are bright turquoise blue on top with lighter, sometimes white bellies. This migratory insectivore...with a side of berries...weighs about 2 to 3 ounces and would stand 6-8 inches tall.

A Blue Bird Day.

A blue bird day is an expression used to describe the perfect day on the mountain. Like our friend, the mountain bluebird, it's bright blue up above and powder white on the bottom. The mornings that dawn bright, clear and crisp after a healthy snowfall the night before. Getting a goggle tan while floating on champagne powder. The stark white mountains accented by a turquoise blue cloudless sky.

So, these last couple days have been bluebird

Paradise Ridge is cooperating as well as the weather. All systems are a go. The pool, hot tub and sauna are constantly in use and running great. Snow removal is squared away for the time being, with plenty of outdoor parking at both the upper and lower parkades. The elevator and garage doors are functioning correctly, which is a huge relief with the amount of traffic here this weekend.
