It's always fun getting out with the family when hills and snow are involved, and not just for the kids :)

It's been kind of a tradition to head out to the the slopes each year, either on Boxing Day or like this year, New Years day and head up to Cypress Mountain for some inner tubing. Last year it was a winter wonderland in our local BC mountains but this year our winter has been so mild that most of the ski hills are not operating. At least Cypress Mountain with the aid of snow machines had the inner tube hills running.

We had a greta time and decided to skip the tow lineups and walk up the hill which is  a really great workout, it's like walking in sand but uphill while dragging a heavy object behind you (usually I had to drag mine and my sons inner tube).

I'm not sure exactly how many runs we got it in but it was at least 6-7 so all in all we got a pretty good workout in!

Enjoy the video, most of the video is shot while I was wearing my Liquid Image MODEL 367 - IMPACT SERIES HD 1080P Goggle Camera with the exception of when I put them on Gabriel for one of his runs. I also got some video using my iPhone 5s and took advantage of the 720p 120 frames per second slow-mo feature.
