A day with Dora

Dora and I were able to escape the Southern regions of LOMAH and venture into the Northern extremities... Calgary!

For Christmas, Dora and I received passes to Lake Louise and free babysitting!  What an awesome present!  We headed up Friday and stayed the night at Dora's brother, who was the lucky babysitter as well.  After a late start we made it to the hill and to our surprize, snow!  We had expected a sunny day of skiing and were enveloped in a blanket of light fluffy snow!

This was the first time at Louise in probably 8-10 years and it's a different experience as compared to Castle of even Whitefish.  A lot more people and just a different kind of people climate as well.  On the plus, some 19 year old kid gave me a beverage on the Gondola ride up.  How's that for hospitality!  We spent the day enjoying several runs, going from easy greens to blues that should have been black! (some of the signs indicated that the conditions did so)  It was a nice break and a welcome present, but sadly we prefer the more Southernly options.  In fact, I'm hoping to get to Whitefish next weekend!  Until then... come back to LOMAH.... we miss you all!
