Ski Trip 2010 Days 5-7

The rest of our trip was a mix of relaxing and skiing. We ended up getting about 3 days of skiing in and explored some of the mountain, but it will take multiple trips to see it all. What a shame. Not!
Once I finish getting the video edited I’ll get that posted on Facebook for friends.
The Hi Def footage from my new Goprocamera HD Hero www.goprocamera.com was spectacular.
Stay tuned for the video.

Ski Trip 2010 Day 3 and 4

So day 3 and 4 were fairly relaxed. Day 3 (sunday) we spend at the villa just relaxing and using the computers, drinking wine and playing Wii. Day 4 we decided to go skiing in Kimberly for the afternoon.
We arrived in Kimberly around 10:30 am and went to get some skis for Sue. We were going to rent but they were selling off last years rentals and we managed to buy a set of skis bindings, boots and poles for Sue for about 160.00. This was less than the cost of renting for the week.
Sue got a pair of mid range head skis for about 125.00, normally these skis would cost about 900.00. She also got a pair of $200.00 Head boots for 10.00 and a pair of poles for 8.00. I didn’t get any video footage yet. The camera ran out of battery on me, guess I didn’t charge it correctly or something, fixing that today.

I have one still from the day taken from the ski lift.

Not much else to tell so far. Sue has a problem with her foot that may prevent her from skiing and she’ll have to see a pediatrist when we return to Toronto. Looks like Metatarsalgia from what we’ve read.

More to follow Tomorrow.

Day 1 & 2 Ski Trip 2010

We flew into calgary around 9pm Mountain time and Julie & Will picked us up at the airport. We went to their house and spent the evening playing guitar and checking out Julie and Wills home theatre. They have an amazing home theatre with a 9 foot projected screen and 7.1 surround.
The next morning we relaxed for a bit and then picked up all the essentials for the trip. Wine, wine and wine. oh and food too.
Once we were ready to go we hit the road to Fairmont around 5:00pm and arrived at the resort about 9:00pm, checked in and cracked open the wine.
Not much to report on the trip out, it was dark so couldn’t see much. One thing that did stand out was the frost on the trees at Julie and Wills the morning we got up. It looked like crystalline structures clinging to the branches. Pictures are on facebook, couldn’t get them to show here for some reason.
