October is bo-ring
The threats have finally scared me into making a new post on this thingy. I apparently have a ravenous reader base that gets antsy when there is nothing new posted. Here you go. I throw this blog into the blog-o-sphere in the hopes that I don't get hurt.
Why haven't I written anything? Because nothing in happens in October. It's too cold to climb or hike, it's too warm to ski, and there aren't any tourits. Actually, it's blessedly slow. 5 months of people who left their brains at home and went on vacation is enough, thank you very much.
So what have I been up to? Well, not much. Just counting down to ski season, which the website tells me is precisely 6 days, 19 hours, 7 minutes, and 43 seconds away from this moment. Hey! That's pretty short!
It's next Thursday and you can bet your ass you know where I'll be at 9am that day. It's starting to feel quite a bit more like winter. It's below freezing every night, and 2 of the last 3 days we've woken up to snow. A lot of it melts during the day still, but it's lasting longer and longer. This morning I slid down the street on my way to work too - a winter driving on Halloween.
For those of you thinking of coming out here for the ski season, here are some webcam photos for you of how things are looking.

Not bad, not bad.
In other big news is that they took down the blue construction fences on the main street yesterday. The end is in sight!! After spending the summer in a cage we can finally enjoy our main street again. Sure, it's still under construction, but it's all details now. Hopefully they'll be out of here in a couple more weeks.
The only other bit of news also happened yesterday: the internet cafe is open for 4 hours less each day until January. That means instead of working 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, I'm going to be working 12 hours/day, 3 days/week from 11am to 11pm and have 4 days off to ski and otherwise be a bum. Hooray!!! The best job in Banff just got better :p
So I have to say - my little scheduling book that's filled with all your vacations to Banff is....less than filled. Let's start getting that fixed :p

October doesn't sound that boring. Sounds more like a transition month - from the no brainers that visited to the excitement of skiing again. You needed time to unwind, relax and get those shushing muscles into shape. BTW you didn't have all the tourists with no brains there were plenty at Sauble. I particularly liked the girl at Tim's who after I ordered a black coffee wanted to know if I wanted cream in the black coffee. Grrrrr. Glad your construction is going away. That had to be irritating. So on to Ski season. Nice you have it down to the seconds. Got your boots on? Thanks for the update. All of us ravenous readers out here appreciate it.
love you
mommy
Good for people to know.
