Big Truck

If we had this truck we would not have to worry about a place to live.

Arrival

Three Guys, A Sandwich And One Hot Shower.

We have no jobs, no fixed address and today pretended to be catholic for free soup and bread.  Soup was good.  Ben had the first fall of the season, walking along a path.  

As there is not much snow we have been going on some walks to get our legs ready for the skiing/boarding. Possibly some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Nothing but rivers, trees and mountains. 

Banff Springs Hotel is in the background, this is a place we can only dream of living. 

Banff Avenue, basically the same as Epsom.  Though colder, more roaming deer, fuck off mountains and a lack of Weatherspoons. What you see in this picture is pretty much the whole of Banff's main street. 

   
Eric going caveman on us. The woods are now his gym.

We have every deal on food and drink memorized for each day of the week, its Thursday today so we are just about to head off for 25 cent wings at the Paddock. 

 

Welcome To Banff

First snow to fall in Banff since we have been here. Lake Louise and Sunshine are due to open their lifts in less than two weeks, everyone is itching to get on their skis/snowboard. 

Calgary

So we arrived in Calgary and on our first day ended walking over 9 miles around the city to every ski shop. We spent a lot of money. Apart from poles we have everything we need.

Ben got some K2 extreme [179 cm]

Eric got some Rossignol actys 100 ($99 down from $299)

Charles got Salomon suspects [176 cm]
