A lot of snow was falling in the mountains
We arrived and joined up with Andrea and her husband Mark, and Ken who owed the land...
We stayed in our own trailers which were heated with Propane tanks...and a little fire wood on an outside campfire would help too. Plus a little game of pass the pigs would be our entertainment.
We shared some good wine, a pasta dinner and fresh bread from Field BC.
After a night of drinking and running out of propane in the middle of the night, we headed out to the base slopes of Kicking Horse Resort. We paid our dues to go for a ski, but found out Nakita could not join us....sad really.
Andrea and I posed for a photo while at the Cross Country lodge at the Kicking Horse...the snow was so beautiful.
The view from the X country lodge. Cam was ready for the activity of the day.
After the day of skiing, we stopped at the local Golden pub for a beer....
Ken, our gracious host was into the festivities.
After skiing, we stopped at the local hardware store to pick up some toboggins to drag behind the ski-doo....this was going to be our New Years Eve fun...
Fun we had, pulling those sleds all night....ok, really only until about 9pm. We needed some cushions for the bumpy ride. Andrea and Mark got dropped out.
Cam and Andrea were the most frequent riders....Helmets and protective gear worn by all.
After a modest evening of sharing drinks and good food around the fire, it was time to clean up around the camp. HAPPY NEW YEAR>
It was time to do the dishes....The only dish water, was the snow that had to be heated up on the fire. Mark, Cam and Andrea cleaned up after us all. Nakita after barking all night at the dark shadows of people, was happy to see the light, and it was time to head back to Calgary. The snow started to fall, and we made it back only hours before the highway passes were closed for days due to snowfall....
