Snow Camp

What an epic week! The temperature only thawed above -20 on the last day and we saw the thermometer at -35 Celsius. For 7 days we trekked like explorers around Banff and Canmore. Snowshoeing, Cross Country Skiing, Downhill, Caving and even a Summiting to round out the adventures. A huge thanks to Mike Shaw for the caving and Sue Clark for organizing the Sunshine ski tickets!

Don't be fooled by Matt's bare hands. It was cold on the top of Ha Lin Peak

Skating

What an amazing day! Because it hadn't snowed yet all the lakes in the mountains had perfect ice. 3-4 inches of crystal clear ice. We were even able to chase fish around under the ice and some saw a muskrat cruising around underneath.

Dogs off leash on the ice, in the National Park is ok right? I mean, they're allowed to swim off leash.

Erie feeling, being able to see the bottom of the lake. Maybe Jesus was walking on a frozen lake?
