Snowboarding and trips to Banff have kept me occupied the last few weeks. Activities have included a ski lesson, rock climbing, hot springs and even a trip out to Kicking Horse resort for opening day.

We’ve had some brutally cold temperatures here with days hitting in the minus 30’s and even colder with the wind chill. I also received a little surprise in the mail, a new hand knitted beanie which I was instantly in love with – thanks Jano!!
