I had the last couple of days off so i got to hit the slopes again!
Unfortunately there had not been a whole lot of snow recently so there was not a whole lot of extra snow. But still had a great time.
First day i decided to head out to Lake Louise and see how that went. I went with a friend i had met - Steve. He is from Ireland and a snowboarder also.
So i had a good day boarding at Louise with him. Unfortunately it was a bit icy in a lot of places but was still nice.
The day was a bit overcast and it was a warm -17 degrees (about -24 with wind chill...)
I have not uploaded some video yet. but that will come in the next post.
The next day i went to Mt Norquay with a couple of Friends.
Mitch and Chelsey (both from Aus). I ended up spending about an hour teaching Chelsey and 2 people she know how to snowboard and start linking their turns, which gave them a big boost in their snowboarding ability. And good experience for me i guess.
But spent most of the day boarding with Mitch and someone he knows Sam who is from NZ.
Went through some random Tree runs and through the park and just some normal good runs.
There was not a whole lot of snow and very icy in some patches but a hell of a lot of fun!
Here is a clip i put together from some of the footage i took at Mt Norquay.
I hope you enjoy, Specifically the part where i clip my edge attempting a natural rail on a fallen tree :P
The next day i headed into calgary for a couple things, and to look for some new shoes. I found some i liked after trying like 5 stores, but they didnt have my size so i will have to try again later... probably feb.
On the way home that night it was starting to snow and when i got up in the morning there was a few cm of fresh snow on the streets in banff. So beautiful :)
