Since all we really do is snowboard, work, eat and sleep (x2 for James) we can only really show you more snowboarding photos!! Plus, James wants to stir up feelings of jealously amongst snowboarders in rainy Aotearoa. Well, anyway - today was 'think long' day. Super fun.... read more

Past Saturday was really really really the last time skiing in the Rockies for now.. Actually I already assumed the Sunday before would be the last time, but eventually Elise and Robert (a friend of Mat visiting from Germany) convinced me to come anyway. Part of the attraction of this extra day skiing is that this time I would have to pay considerably less than normal, since I would pay less for the ticket and would not need rentals.

This is my third time righting this little blog, there are a number of excuses one being this computer I'm on has really high virus protection on it and the other being that some times I can just be an idiot. So basically my last two attempts at a journal covered the highlights and lowlights of Banff. They where a bit more detailed than this one is going to be. I have about 10 days left in Banff and only 6 more days at work so I'm really starting to look forward to traveling with Kate Lacey. But the purpose of this Journal was to talk out the last 7 long but great ... read more
