Living with Canucks: It's Back

Hi All,
The good news is that IT's back (IT being a super snowy Canadian winter - although I suppose it is still 'fall'). The bad news is my muscles forgot how to ski and are currently spasming with anger that I honed up my cycling legs for what - for ski-ing!!! The transition from bike to skis wasn't as simple as my little legs had been hoping!

We started off the season on the sticks with a moderate 28km jaunt from Lake Louise to Moraine lake and back. With oodles of the white stuff it made for a great November day. There must be two to three feet up there already. This time last year I was running around Upper Kananaskis lake (albeit in the snow, post holing) but it certainly wasn't ski-ing weather. So hopefully the season will continue with the vigor in which it has begun. The board gets a run out next week and hopefully wont need to be put away for the next six months!!!!!! Brina was taking it easy buying orchids today in the balmy temperatures of Calgary (I think it almost reached zero!), but the two of us are off to Kananaskis for two nights at the end of the week (courtesy of work - there's a science conference on and fortunately for us it is held at a hotel at a ski resort!!!).

I need to go and soak my aching limbs and reassure them that they wont ache this much every time I go out (bloody well hope not anyway).

And as many posts have ended with a sunset, heres a moon rise from the back window;
