It all started with a simple like and message from Mtngrl3 to SDH57 "Hey! How's your weekend going? That's an awesome picture. Where is Cham?" SDH57 being the helpless romantic he is responded with a dreamy: "Weekend was nice, though I was shamelessly hoping for more rain" And there is was, Cupids arrow was in flight, and both Mtngirl3 and SDH57 became destined for each other. Ok, well maybe not just yet. After a first date sharing stories of travel and adventure at The Saint, they both decided- hey I'd see this person again. It wasn't but a few weeks before they found themselves skinning up the muir snowfield where Scott quickly learned that Marcy meant business - once she started moving and putting distance on the group - he thought to himself - I might never see this person again, how did I mess this up? But lucky for him she eventually took pity on him and his friends and let them catch-up. From there on out, Scott learned his lesson and made sure to always stick by Marcy's side. The rest of the winter was filled with fun skiing trips and dates in the city, which blossomed into bigger and more fun adventures. And thus began the #AdventuresOfScarcy

Scott and I were having a lovely time spending the holidays in Whistler with his family when out of the blue he decided we should pack up our bags two days early.  When asked by his dad where he was going - he said “we are going back country skiing and may or may not be back tomorrow night” and gave me multiple non-plausible scenarios to why we may not come back.   The next day we set out with our car packed for apocalyptic survival. As we approached the turnoff to Gin Peak, Scott informed me of the sweepstake I won (which I can't recall entering) for a 2 night stay at Journeyman Lodge, in the Callaghan Valley, a dream trip of mine since learning about it a year ago.  Our only previous trip there ended prematurely with a faulty stove, forcing us to leave our newly architected snow caves in haste.  Journeyman Lodge is a remote backcountry lodge located over 10 miles from the closest road. The only access is by foot or snowcat, lucky for me Scott sensibly chose the later for us. We lucked out with 50 cm of new snow and blue bird skies in the forecast. We spent the first day exploring terrain just across from the lodge. Scott claims this lodge's terrain is the The Willy Wonka Chocolate factory of Skiing.  On the second day, we headed up Journeyman mountain, the morning light cresting the peaks, providing the mountains with a gentle glow. We stopped on a saddle excited to ski the endless pillow factory below. Scott set up his camera to take a picture of us, looking lovingly into each other gaze. As he waded over to me in thigh deep powder, he attempted to get down on one knee, already knee deep in snow. I was so happy when he asked me to marry him. Of course, I said yes. We celebrated with 7000' of endless champagne powder skiing including an amazing full moon lap.  The Callaghan Valley,  a remote wilderness area surrounded by amazing peaks and endless adventure, is a special place that encapsulates the adventurous spirit that we love about each other.  ​​
