Working, Gym and chocolate fondue :)

So after having 4 days off for some snowboarding action (which was awesome!) I am now doing an 8 day stint at work! :(

And its annoying cause there has been like 40cm of snow at sunshine village over the last few days.

So i decided to get back into a healthy rhythm again and get my workout on. Because i live and work in Banff i get a free 1 week pass to the big gym here. Which has a running track, basketball courts, weights area, pool, sauna, spa, indoor climbing... Its a pretty awesome gym actually.

Have hit a chest session and a couple nights in the hot tub. And tonight i went and did some indoor climbing with a friend.

So spent about 1.5hrs rock climbing and finishing off with some bouldering. Which is without a harness and up to a certain line (about 4m up) which has a range of different holds and we had to work our way around the wall.
Awesome workout for my hands and all body. Felt great! :D

My Go pro hero hd2 camera arrived earlier this week, So i think i might test it out doing rock climbing or something and then get some footage on the 12th and 13th (my next days off) so look forward to some fresh boarding footage! Hopefully some more fresh snow waiting for me on my days off.

When i was snowboarding at sunshine i was  half way down the mountain and mother nature started calling for me... As i was no where near an appropriate building i unstrapped and walked off towards a tree...
Few more steps and *crunch* my foot goes thigh deep into the snow!
That was pretty cool :)



Some of my close friends who i spent christmas eve with ended up having a chocolate fondue which i got an invite to :)

Best plan ever!

One of them works for a prestigious chocolate shop here and they make a chocolate champagne bottle... So "lets melt it!" The bottle part was hollow (as they usually fill it with other chocolates) but the top of it was solid. And a very tasty sweetened dark chocolate.

My awesome fruit cutting skills!!!

Unwrapped, in the fondue and starting to melt :)
Hmm, lets try drinking champagne from the chocolate champagne bottle :P
