Start Your Engines

Monday, I headed back up to Whistler to use the last day on my edge pass. It was very quiet and somber... nobody on the slopes, nothing happening in town. I rode both peaks on some modest snow, and had a reasonably fun day.

Dylan, Kara, and I did our traditional dinner at Memphis BBQ that evening, before I picked up Captain Kirk at SFU, to head to Kamloops and crash with his Mormon friends. Half way there, we received a call politely suggesting that we find somewhere else to stay, as we'd be rolling in on them a little late. On to Revelstoke!

We met up with Ottawa-Matt at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, and had a pretty good day skiing a recently opened area of the mountain.

In the coincidence to end all coincidences, after a 5 minute hike off the peak chair, two dudes asked me a question about where a certain chute ended up. One of those dudes happened to be my cousin Adam. That was bizarre!

After riding, we motored on to Banff, where we put up last night, and tonight.

Today, we rode at Sunshine Village, because the snow reports were pretty bleak all around. The view was good, and the cruisers were enjoyable, and a good day was had by all.

The VW is locked and loaded. Dinner, and early to bed, and logging many miles to Winnipeg tomorrow.

Next update when I'm home safe.
