30 wonderful years, two fantastic kids and alot of work later, we've decided it's time to take an extended break and travel. There will be three phases to the time off - skiing in the Rockies, Europe by campervan and downtime on the farm. This blog is intended to keep family and friends informed as to our whereabouts in case they want to travel vicariously with us. Hasta la vista!

We're baaaaack! No, we didn't get lost - just no decent internet connections for a while. Here's a quick update since our last entry - we've been dog-sledding and skiing at Big Mountain, Montana, stayed at but didn't ski Fernie, B.C. (first rainy day), stayed at Fairmont Hot Springs and skied Panorama with some fresh snow in the back bowl (and frozen stuff on the groomers) and then on to Lake Louise, Alberta. There we were spoiled silly with a room at Chateau Lake Louise overlooking the glacier and lake thanks to Aaron who arranged for our accommodation. The company that Peter used to work for sure has some great connections. Skied Lake Louise for two great days - fresh snow and sun - what more can you want. Today was our first lazy day and we slept in, had a decadent bakery breakfast and went for a nice walk along the lake before heading back into BC, staying in Golden. Passed the landslides that had closed the highway for several days last week - looks suspiciously related to road construction that just happens to be taking place at the same location. Staying at a funky little lodge (yes Gaston, there is such a thing in Golden) and looking forward to skiing Kicking Horse tomorrow. All is great so, as Red would say, peas and glove.
