Hungry? No thanks, I ate snow all afternoon...
And did I ever! Only skied for 4 hours today but I'm more sore than any day before this one. I couldn't even wear my goggles (thanks mom!) after the first couple hours because i fell face first in the snow so hard that they were absolutely smeared with the stuff.
Also did some back-country skiing today which was cool and awesome and I'm not sure if I spent more time on my ass than on my skiis. All in all though it was pretty darn cool and, for the first time for me, it was actually clear at Sunshine.
This has actually been a point of contention for me: why name the place "Sunshine" if there's never any sun there? And in fact, it wasn't sunny today either, it was just clear and the landscape was just phenomenal. Up to today, I could never see more than about 20 feet in front of me but today could see...well...really far.
Sunshine, as it turns out, is actually build on the continental divide which is also the border between Alberta and B.C. Went up a lift today that, about 1/2way up has a sign on the post saying "Welcome to beautiful British Columbia" and then a few posts from the top has another sign saying "Welcome back to Alberta". Thought it was cute.
My plans are to go up to Lake Louise tomorrow and try out their hill. I'm looking forward to it for sure.

hey noah!
i went to sunshine valley when i was on a choir trip to banff in 12th grade.. it was the time of my life, that trip. i don't know how to ski actually, so i just enjoyed the scenery that day, but i heard all about those signs from the poeple who did brave the hills. man all your stories about theplaces you go are making me yearn for the mountains! keep the pictures coming, when you can, eh? i just love them. oh, I'm going to mail you a few pictures soon, because i got a digital camera for my birthday! ok.. well ujst wanted to say hola, and i miss you! take-a the care.
