Spring Fun!

This week has been a fun mix of work and play in Canmore. I forgot to mention in my last post that I am now working at the Bill Warren Training Centre in Canmore. I am basically a glorified janitor/secretary, keeping the gym and building clean and working the front desk. It is a fun job, and easy on the body so I will be able to work right through the spring and training season! That also means that I will not be tree planting this spring. I will miss my yearly pilgrimage into the bush, but staying in Canmore means I wont miss a month and a half of training!

This week Butler, Amanda and I skied up the Red Earth Creek trail to Shadow Lake Lodge (a ski in/ski out back country lodge). Its about a 15km ski up to the Lake/Lodge and you can go further if you want. We arrived just in time for afternoon tea at the lodge, which consisted of gourmet cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, cookies, cake, and of course coffee and tea (for $15). So of course we stopped at the lodge and ate to our hearts content before continuing on to explore the lake.
