hi everybody
wow-what a mad couple of weeks it has been...Reub's friends Jase and Olivia are over here and they have gone up the mountain, but i am so tired i couldn't make it, so here i am, first time in weeks not skiing! We drove in from calgary this morning, i bought a new digital camera and I am very excited because it is shock-proof and water-proof (pretty much everything I need i think) but it's on the charger at the moment so no photos to show off the new camera. It is very shiny.
OOO h and importantly we have a new cellphone everyone check yo emails for the number, and for goodness sake write it down!!
So I guess i should get started on the update...Chrissie morning our flat ate Reub's traditional brekkie of toasted croissants with brie, ham off the bone and tomato (yum) followed by other traditions of sparkly wine with peach schnaps...We had a tree not cut down from the national park, it was beautiful and perfect! Good job room-mates, with lights and everything! My first tree in like 3 or more years! yay...so, I guess we went to work all pretty boozy, (and it was still dark!!) and the bosses over here are super cool, we drank all day!! We each had a bottle of frangelico or baileys etc for our coffees, and we cooked and ate french toast up the mountain!! Sugar overload though...For dinner Reubs and I went to Kristin's place, her parents are here from NZ and we ate MOOSE roast! (Hell yeah) It was really good, shot by a friend's 15 year-old brother (can you imagine shooting a moose, oops sorry don't think about it, it was really tasty) you go in a draw here and a small handful of people get a licence to go out and shoot moose and other big game. OOh we just saw a big-horn sheep walking down the street! Ha ha random, looks like a goat.
Sorry I'm starting to lose concentration. Will get back to ya.

Hi, sorry about that...Well we went touring on a pretty classic tour called the Pumpkin traverse, it starts from the ski area and goes round this masssive mountain -Mt Redoubt, in a 13km loop. Im gonna put heaps of photos cos it was amazing.
That's me in the distance! Look at all the beautiful snow!
We actually had our skis off for quite a bit of the journey and were hiking...
We went past this bowl and couldn't resist putting some fat tracks right down the middle!
The walk back outta those nice lines...
The view...
Just after lunch, we walked out of this valley here for a couple of hours till we kinda poped back out near the ski resort...
I thought the trees were really pretty...these are Larch trees, they are the only deciduous conifers in the world!
ok this is the last one. lookin back up the valley we walked outta. sunset on the peak (yeah, sunset, we still had about 3 kms to walk, woops. got back in daylight though)
oops i put this in and cant delete it!Bye everyone hope to hear texts from all of you!
