I was a travellin' man over the break there as we all flew down to Calgary for a few days before Christmas to see my stinky little sister, then drove to Edmonton for a wedding, then drove out to Jasper for a few days of skiing and Christmas Day, then drove back to Edmonton to fly here, then drove out to Jane's cabin for a few days including New Year's Eve, then flew down to Vancouver for a visit and a Dr's appt. I got back late last night and wanted to share a few pictures. This is how dry it was in Calgary. We saw quite a few mallards and geese on the Bow.
Lots of snow over in Jasper a few days later. My kids are quite the little powder hounds apparently. Mac took me down a black diamond run that managed to knock one of my skis off, but he just flew down it on his little snowboard. Meg was way more cautious and stuck to the greens mostly.
The coolest thing was walking into the Maligne River canyon. We'd have been under 20 feet of water had that been summer time. I know it doesn't look like it, but we were headed upstream at that point.
Lots of frozen waterfalls.
