Today was spent out on the slopes. Kicking Horse is definitely a little bit above my level, but I’m improving and Etienne is loving it – so I’m happy! There’s not really loads to say to be honest… The weather was patchy. We went up the main gondola & it was thick cloud, totally white, …
Another slow day today. The weather said cloudy, so we decided to skip skiing and go tomorrow & Saturday instead. We both had some admin to do this morning anyway. The first task on my list was to book our camping rental for our final week in this leg of the trip – we were …
Writing this in the middle of the day – the morning has been interesting. We headed over to Kicking Horse & took the gondola right to the top. I faffed a lot with my Goggles, boots, skis… etc. Eventually I was sorted and off we went. It’s super cloudy today and the piste was pretty …
We left Lake Louise around 11am this morning to head to Golden/Kicking Horse. (Did I ever mention where we stayed? This place, it was lovely.) We met a really nice family from Montreal while staying there & when we left the dad was waiting for the shuttle to the ski resort. We didn’t really have …
On a time limit today as Etienne is cooking. We’re having pasta so don’t think I have long! We had another lovely day today, with a hike in Lake Louise. We took our crampons/spikes, still not sure what they’re actually called? And went up, up, up towards the “Big Beehive”. We didn’t actually know what …
We’ve left Jasper & are now in Lake Louise! We thought it was famous because of the lake but everyone else here seems to be skiing. We’re not skiing though, not yet. We’re just here for the lake (more skating!). 🙃 There’s some people playing cards on the table opposite us in the hostel & …
Today we went Ice Climbing! It was so good, absolutely loved it. A bit pricey, but we paid aaaaages ago and it was worth every penny. 👌 We set off from Jasper around 10am & got back to our hostel an hour ago, around 4:30pm. The drive to the spot (Tangle Falls) took about an …
Had work at 6am for the second day running today (was 7am prior the day before these too), so pretty tired when combining with the train + driving we’ve been doing. Think I’ll keep this short & sweet*!!! Headed out first thing after my shift towards Pyramid Lake (another recommendation from the Tourist Information man), …
We’ve arrived safely in Jasper. We drove here yesterday from Edmonton, it took 4 hours. I bought new sunglasses and wore them all the way here, even when it was cloudy. 😎 Jasper is beautiful – the pic below doesn’t really capture it, but gives you a rough idea… It’s bloody freezing. In fact, freezinger …
We’re in Edmonton now. I’m currently sat in our Hostel working a LiveChat shift, luckily it’s quiet so I can multi-task. Our plan for the day is to drive over to Jasper (with our Communauto) and then nothing from there. I wrote a really detailed breakdown of how we passed the time in my last …
