So it’s all over. Well, the Canada portion is at least. We are back in the UK, spending time reflecting, oh and washing. So what did we do in our final days? Our exams were on the last day so the last few weeks were very stressful (Don’t laugh, it really was!) but we did manage to have some fun. You will be please to hear WE PASSED!

Fresh Tracks at the Lake

So they didn't have snow at Lake Louise all season, until we got there of course! Powder day and those them there are MY tracks!

Above the treeline

But some hardy little buggers still survive.

Posing.......

More scenery from the top of the gondola.

Minnewanka

No not Rich, the Lake. It's Lake Minnewanka. Seriously!

Ahhh, NO posing

Just stunning scenery. The National Park is incredible, this is taken in Banff looking up the Bow Valley towards Lake Louise.

Very expensive Red wine

Andy you are a mad man but we love you! Cheers to you!

Saltlik steak

It is actually bigger then Brendan's head. That was one happy Aussie, and he did finish it.

Sunshine and snow on the Bow......

One super sunny day. Nothing like lazing by a river in the sunshine to totally chill out.

I command all I survey..........

Nothing like a Canadian resort for a wide open EMPTY powder bowl.

Carvin' the pow

Fun fun fun.

I got air

Backflips next I reckon....

Rich sliding a box

With Instructor Paul standing by....

180 stomped

Rich showing his style.

Snow ghosts

This is a pic from Whitefish. They are trees literaly plastered with snow. They look scarily lifelike.

Empty piste at Red

And this was a powder day. Where are all the people? What was that? In Europe? Oh yeah!

Introducing my powder buddy, Pete

He kneed himself in the face going off a jump and broke his nose!

Introducing Loopy Laura.

Laura is a one stop entertainment system. Enormously fun to have around. (She doesn't normally look like this though, this was special for the Griz parade. I quite like it though....)

Simon and Cleo

Jetsetting off around South America as we speak. Heading to Australia and New Zealand shortly. We love you guys, Missing you heaps.

Liz's beer. HANDS OFF

This is how you drink in the USA. Oversized of course!

Last Days in Banff

End of a fantastic season.
