<!-- travel - Calgary, Alberta -->
My sister Jen lives in Calgary, so I go visit
her every once in a while.
Easter 2001
The first time I went was around Easter 2001, when we met up with my friend Heather and did some snowboarding. I didn't know how to snowboard, so I took lessons and hung out on the bunny hill a lot and hurt myself.
We also did some cross country skiing and a bit of a hike around Banff on our
extreme weekend. Later, when Jen went back to work, I entertained myself by going
caving in Canmore and wandering around Calgary.
August 2004
I went in August 2004 with my mom and dad to do a lot of hiking in the Rockies.
It was a stopover on our way to Heather's wedding
in Victoria.
April 2005
I went again in April 2005 with my mom, Matt and Kendra to do some skiing. This time, I had practiced and stuck to what I knew (no more snowboarding exploits). I'm still struggling to get those photos up.
Feb 25-Mar 5, 2006
The ski trip sas such a hit that we decided to do it again the next year: Feb
25-Mar 5, 2006. Unfortunately, Kendra couldn't come this time, so it was just
me, Jen my mom and
Matt. We'd had a crappy no-snow winter in Ontario,
so my mom and I had only been out once before we got there. It made for some initial
timidity, but no major injuries.
March 22-31, 2007
Since Matt and Kendra had no vacation time left, our ski vacation (March 22-31,
2007) group dwindled to just me, Jen my
mom. But we had a great time! This time, mom and I had been out three times
in Ontario already. Not that this prepares you for the Rockies, exactly, but by
the time we got to Kicking Horse (Fernie rained AGAIN) we were tackling black
diamonds in no time!
