Canada - Random Shots...

I suck at skiing. Going uphill and along lakes is fine. Going down anything steeper than 10 degrees is bad for my freckle, and extremely hilarious for everybody else. I managed to get down the tree-lined trail from Healy Pass with only 2 crashes. Luckily Dan wasn't able to get any of the spills on film.




Skiing is one of the few outdoor activities I like doing when the temperature is 20 below. Craig at Kananaskis Village:

This VW combi has been sitting in a paddock near Cochrane for decades. Apparently a couple living on the farm back in the sixties got divorced, and all she wanted was the van.

The myth was he built the roof, decking and walls around it, but later filled the van with concrete.

We jumped a fence and hiked up to check it out - there is no concrete, just a few hundred mice. Myth busted.
