British Columbia

British Colombia, 2010

Snowboarding at Sunshine this was at the top of the mountain.

First of all British Columbia is beautiful. I stayed primarily in Fairmont which is a pretty remote location. I woke up to deer and fog. If you are new to snow sports Fairmont resort is perfect. I appreciated the peace. I went there to go snowboarding. The snow was great and it was quiet as opposed to the frequently traveled Colorado, I highly recommend it. I visited Lake Louise which was frozen over. It was surprising to see people that had walked to the middle of the lake. I was brave enough to walk out to some of the ice sculptures to take some photographs.

I also visited Banff Sunshine Village. This mountain was very cool. I took a Gondola to the base. I was surely in the middle of the mountains there. It was impressive. While I was there some local folk recommended Mount Norquay which was a less notable resort area but was known to the natives. It was another great mountain although I still recall the turn where I caught an edge and took quite a spill. Par for the course I guess in the sport of snowboarding. No injuries luckily just good memories.
