Banff Part 1
Arrived in Banff last night and were very impressed by the hotel yet again. The Fox is really cool, log cabin type building but really modern. It has its own built in hot spring which we will have to check out later.
We headed into the town to have a look around. It has the feel of Aviemore but on a far bigger scale and has far better scenery. We are situated 4,300ft above sea level and no matter what direction you look, all you can see are mountains. It wa...
We checked into the Fox Hotel and Suites last night. The hotel is on the main street (Banff Ave) about 4 or 5 blocks north of downtown Banff. The hotel has an interesting hot tub/pool located on the lower level. It looks and feels as thou you are in a cave with hot springs and when you sit in the hot tub you can look up and see the stars outside because there is a hole in the ceiling that opens to the outside. This is especially nice on a snowy or rainy day, it's beautiful! Last night we ate ...

Compared to current Ontario temperature of -30, Banff still feels warmer, even on a cold day like today. Perhaps, it's because Banff is sheltered within the mountains or maybe it's the dry air. In Ontario, the sun comes up around 7:30am, in Banff the sun doesn't seem to come up until 8:30 or so. It's a challenge to get use to the darkness in the mornings. Today we toured the Cave and Basin it's a National Historic Site of Canada and the birthplace of Canada's national park system. Warm water ...

It has been cold, very cold, the last couple of days. I walked around the block, outside of our hotel and when I returned I had little icicles on my scarf. That was just within 10 minutes! No sense in taking the camera out today, the camera would freeze in the weather. This is a day when you need to cover every inch of skin before going outside to stay warm. This is an indoor day. Trevor's uncle John and aunt Lori picked us up at the hotel and drove around town pointing out sights of interest...

... kids wanted to hike out, while Kevin and Paul were all for hiking over the pass to Numa Campground. Celine was torn. She wanted to finish what we had started but her knees ached from the previous day and part of her just wanted to be back in a warm house ...

... suddenely a few loose rocks tumbled down the moraine, some near to us, all creating the feeling of instability! This was an awesome moment for me, I could I have stayed for ages, my emotions completely engaged with this place, fascinated! I felt a real sense of awe, taking in the silence, the cold clean air, a sense of insignificance in this timeless valley, glaciers are ancient, these converging glaciers the remenants of the great ice sheets of the Devensian, some 20 000 years ago. I wish ...

Ich habe glueck und erwische kaum Regen und dieses National Parks sind wirklich etwas vom ...

Today Max met me up at Sunshine for possibly my last day of riding for the season. Sunshine Village got some decent snow lately putting a nice layer on top of the previously icy runs.... I got my free rental from the Caribou Properties Ski Shop, they previously gave me a dodgy rental and I chucked a bit of a hissy fit, hence the freebie!! I headed up to sunshine just before 10am and got in a few runs before Max met me on his split shift, which gave me time to get my groove ...

Another early start with the bus scheduled to pick us up between 08:00 and 08:15. The bus turned up at 08:40 so it was a good thing we waited inside near the front door rather than outside. By the time the bus arrived the sun had almost risen - it is close to the longest night and it is obvious here. We were on a different bus than the one we thought we'd booked. It ...

... at least 15 mountain goats along the way. We also went to Lake Louise and took photos. We spent about 12 days between Banff and Calgary. We would recommend this trip to anyone. The people are friendly, there are employment opportunities galore, and the scenery is the greatest! We are definitely going back next year!
