Since the last post we have been pretty busy (as always)...
We made a good attempt to make it out to see Paul's brother and his partner in Sicamous, however we were turned around in Golden as the highway was closed due to avalanche control. We made the best of it though! We spent a good part of the afternoon in Golden cross country skiing up at the Dawn Mountain Lodge - a cute club member owned establishment that had that everyone-knows-each-other, small town feel. It was raining softly and it brought back good memories of skiing on the Island. Then after some debate as to whether or not we should stick around in the Golden area, we decided that the forecast for more snow meant we should get out of there while we still could. We came back as far as Canmore and spent the night at our good friend Mary's apartment. It was a great excuse for a visit and then we were able to head up to the Nordic Centre the next day for another cross country skiing adventure. It snowed heavy overnight and big fat flaked continued to come down on us all afternoon while we skied. It was a ton of work to pull Cam in the sled behind us!

It didn't take Cam long to figure out climbing - he can mantle his way out of the bath, attempts to climb his way over the baby gate at the stairs, makes his way on and off the bed, pulls himself up on the kitchen shelving and uses whatever he can to reach things normally out of his reach...
Trouble I say.
.. and he hasn't even started to walk yet...
This is Cam's new "I'm unhappy" face.
Teething tears.
Cam
wont let us look into his mouth or feel his gums to see if there is anything teeth
actually pushing through the gums yet, but he certainly seems to be
working on it!
Sink Bath!!
Who needs a dishwasher when you have kids... right??
Powder Day at Norquay!!!
Neither Paul or I had ever rode at Norquay before, but we sure picked an awesome day to try the hill out; They had been closed the day before because of avalanche danger and had 55cm of fresh snow over the last 24hrs... We couldn't of been luckier.
We were also fortunate to repeatedly find ourselves finding and being one of the first down just opened runs all morning. Perfect timing every chair lift we took!
Now, I would love to show you some shots of us riding the thigh deep pow
however, we were too busying riding it to take the time to stop, dig
out the camera and capture the moment. So, instead here are some of us
riding what was left of the snow by the end of the day.
Not too pounded out considering all of Banff was at the hill was us that day!
Still finding pockets of freshies!
We got worked, but had an awesome day.
One of the best days of riding in a long time for both of us!
