Hiking ..Skiing loving life...
Weekend number one I went for the river hike. Up the hill around the bend and you end up above the Elbow river. Eventually you finish back at the waters edge before you get in the car and drive back to life... The scenery is fabulous, the air is cool and there are no bugs.
Weekend two I went the the sunshine ski resort in Banff. 50 Miles from the hike there is lots of snow. You pay your 45 dollars and ride up and down the mountain baking in the afternoon sun or chattering down the icy slope in the morning. I love the exhilaration.... conquering the hill..skiing timid for the first hour, then getting the groove going...then scaring myself..then pleasure skiing...then draggin myself up the hill one more time.
Decadence -- how lucky I am to live in such a country. The hike is free, the skiing is 45$ but because I am on the cheap side I always bring my own lunch and snack.. I go by myself and to a certain extent I like it like that. I am not anti social but sometimes I think I just need time to think. I feel incredibly lucky.
I am raring to go now... ready to jump the corporate beast and ride it until tamed. I am off to the US south this week and I will smile all week.
