Kamloops


So I took off a while back to go skiing at Sunpeak's Resort outside of Kamloops. The hill is not as tall or steep as Sunshine but it had very nice wide runs that were great for cruising on. I spent the day with my younger Cousin who is going to school there. We had a good day, I had the only crash on the day. There was "the easy way out" cross the run that we were on and I didn't realize until it was too late that it formed a bit of a jump. Those that ski with me know I haven't figured out how to stick the landing yet. So yep I landed almost caught myself but a tip or edge grabbed and took me for another ride. I landed on my hip and my head bounced off the packed snow and dazed me for a bit. Lets just say the rest of the run I thought about that helmet that was sitting on my boot rack in calgary.... dumb I say dumb.

I had decided to get there by Greyhound might as well let someone else do the driving so I can catch up on my sleep as I was going on nightshifts when I got back. Well it was a good thing I did because on the way back the snow over the mountain pass was insane. The snow plows had not come out yet but the bus kept going, at 80kph though and an hour late... but least I didn't have to drive :)
