Rocky Mountain High......... Long weekend, Family Day...but we ended up with four days off, so.....Thursday afternoon, car packed, all very excited, we set off ! A six hour drive...but who cares...we are going to the Rockies!!!! We took the scenic route there, through places called Viking, Camrose, Gwynne, Ponoka, Morningside, Olds, Westward Ho, Elkton & Ghost Lake before finally arriving in Canmore around 8pm. Exhausted & exhilarated. Of course we didnt get to see much in the dark, so what an amazing sight we woke to ! Serious mountains !!! The Rockies make our Snowys look small? I dont know elevations....numbers aren't my thing....but my, these mountains are magnificent. From below, standing in a bowl of craggy, rugged, snow covered rock. First day......downhill skiing at Sunshine Village near Banff .........
Outside our humble abode in Canmore
Do we really have to ski with Dad in that toque...??? How embarrassing.....thanks Miss Gilbert!

What is wrong with my toque? I think its very dashing......thanks Gilbert!
