Feb. 21- Change in the weather but lots of fun in the snow!

The wind was howling at the top of the lift when we got off but once we got down a little bit, it was nothing but fun!

Feb 20 - Another sunny day!

2nd day in a row of perfect weather!

Compare the display with the 2 dudes beside it. 12 years later, no change!

Feb. 19 on Top of The World! - The views are endless!

Feb. 19 and 20 were incredible days in the Sunshine Meadows. Sunny and not a breath of wind. Could have sat in the sun all day!

Snowshoe at the Continental Divide - Feb. 15 - Something different

On Feb. 15 we visited our other snowshoe location with a group from Keystone Symposia. This site is situated on Hwy 93 S right at the Continental Divide and is almost as much fun as Sunshine Village! Deep forests, lots of snow and 2 beautiful lakes.

Hiking down to the lake

Another Snow Angel!

It's only one day late.



Do they want to be in Alberta or...




...British Columbia?



Snowshoe Visit to the Cariboozer - Feb. 10, 2011

Today we checked out the new snow with one of the management teams from the Banff Lodging Company. Not much sunshine but even more snow than last week! Along the way we stopped for a visit with the Cariboozer. He (or maybe it is a she) was happy to see us!

How to Have Fun in a Whiteout! - Feb. 4, 2011

From the top of the Standish lift, the world looks white and we wonder... should we even put the snowshoes on?

Of course we say! The snow is deep, it's soft and it is going to be OUT THERE!

Can't see a thing but we've never had more fun!

You need to watch these 2 videos!

Crazy Snowshoeing at Night! - Dec. 10, 2010

On Dec. 10, we went up to the Sunshine Mountain Lodge (check out the new lodge!) for an evening of snowshoeing with gang from Snowseekers who were doing some filming. (Watch the video here). It is a weird and wonderful experience being out in the dark on snowshoes! After getting lost in the forest and the deep, deep powder we returned to the lodge for a great apres-snowshoe!
