The Peak of Inversion



Well it looks like the inversion has reached it's peak. It started in the morning and lasted all day. I remember a similar day last year in December. I was on the gondola heading up Grouse and the announced the temperature. Everyone cheered. It was really warm. Like spring skiing conditions. People were skiing and snowshoeing in T-Shirts. It was warmer on the mountain than it was in the city.



Today was one of those days. Warmer on the mountain than it was in the city. Seeing the rising sun light up the trees was awesome. The snow was perfect. Come afternoon the low clouds were still hanging around. You can see UBC on the left and the mountain range on the right is Vancouver Island with a sea of clouds in the foreground.



Here is Vancouver in the clouds. You can see the tips of Lion's Gate Bridge peaking through the clouds. I had a great shot of a few towers peaking through the clouds in the morning but it wasn't in focus. There were tons of people out taking pictures.
