Good Times

Well, it wasn't just body climbing that I had discovered this weekend. I also had the priviledge of exploring two mountains. Silverstar and Big White. There were 7 of us in total, who decided that there is nothing better than snowboarding on days off. Inevitably a trip fell into place.

The trip started off with a few complications with checking into our condo. You see, the condo did not have a front desk so that we could check into our room. Apparently we were just supposed to know that our keys were hidden in the village at a local pub that was under construction. If you are not asking the question "why the heck were their keys at a pub?" you should be! Cause this one still has me stumped.

Snowboarding the next day was so much fun. We almost made it through the day without any hick-ups (well, besides loosing Kelsey in the first 10 minutes!) but then at the end of the day Landon, Terry and myself found ourselves lost on the backside of the mountain. Well, not really lost, we just had no way out. We had taken our time getting down the moutain and by the time we had reached the bottom of the run the chair was closed. Ski patrol was not happy. It was actually quite funny. The ski patroller guy must have been new, cause he looked all confused and didn't know what to do with the three of us. He radioed managment and they told him to make us walk back to the village.

Ok, first of all, it would have been a long bloody hike out of there, and second, he was sitting on a skidoo which is obviously a better solution to this problem. So with a bit of a smile, and the other 2 guys showing him a bit of leg;) we coaxed him into letting us ride on his skidoo back to the top.

Some highlights of the trip were getting to know some pretty cool people and sharing in a few gong show experiences. I do believe that it is these unplanned events that make for a great trip. Wouldn't you agree Robyn? I believe randomness is your trade mark.
