What a Week! The weather was wild as the Canadian Wilderness! 3 days of Below zero Temps! Wow, but look at the photo and note that the Base Lodge was so close we were able to duck in from time to time and warm-up quite nicely...and no wind made it work quite well in our favor...(or favour, if you're in Canada...)Even with the cold temps we had a very favorable camp experience. The lane had man-made snow and was an excellent pitch for getting the season started. Great lunches were included and served at the base lodge, a bus delivered us to and from and we had a really cool place to stay complete with pool, hot tub and a very good waxing area. The Banff restaurant, The Elk and Oarsman served our group a very nice traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. We trained some with the Rocky Mountain College Team and saw Thomas Grandi as well as many other teams from all about. We had a great hike mid-week and finished the program by viewing a VERY exciting Men's World Cup Downhill Race. Our game sighting inventory included: Hundreds of Elk, many deer, a lynx, a wolf (we think) a hundred or more mountain sheep and some brave chipmunks that kept darting across our lane...Even though the season is only starting, I am looking forward to next year's trip to Banff!
