Second post 22nd December 2009

OK, so there is this candy store here in banff that is fucking amazing! yes these lego lollies fit together! Isn't it amazing?!

Beaver breath, LOL!

World's biggest gobstopper.

NOM NOM NOM

More NOMs

And more NOMs

ummm and more NOMs

New posse on our first (and to date only) time up at Sunshine. There are so many runs it's mindblowing!

Belz and I at the top. So this is meant to be icey. LOL, I wouldn't even call it hard pack. Those bandannas were frozen solid all day. I'm wearing thermal socks, poly gloves under my snowboarding gloves, two pairs of long johns, marino long sleeve base layer, singlet, XXL t-shirt, polar fleece lined 100% marino hoodie and then my pants and jacket. Oh also had boot warmers in. They said it was a warm day.

Canmore (20 min out of Banff).

On the way to Canmore.

On the way to Canmore.

Belz and I in Canmore (not the same day as above). Fucking cold day so we thought we'd take some photos outside.

This is the river without us blocking it.

Our new work. Seems to have many of the same flaws as Ogilvy. Gutted.

These deer are fucking AWESOME! They come down from the hills and eat people's plants. They are frickn'n smart too and actually cross as proper crossings after looking both ways! I still fail at that. One of them wasn't that smart actually and his remains were found in a playground last summer after he got to close to a cougar. True story.

The room window, yes that ice is on the inside. This was at midday and it was still -20 out side.


The Crib that is on top of my living space.





Anyway i'll keep it short, so since the last posting:

  2. I have a somewhere to sleep-it's the basement of a japanese lady's house. Her name is Moreko...
  3. I have a job. Yay...
  4. I don't have a season pass yet
  5. I still haven't found a beer yet.

First Post 3rd december 2009

Yo!

I R in Banff. It's a wee bit nippy here, during the day it's -20, for the first time in my life i thought i was going to lose my ears. By the way i'm apologising in advance right now (this is the apology) for all the poor grammer ( see what I did there? LOL?) and spelling you will see here on this blog. I'm not really sorry but this way you should feel like a dick for pointing out my disregard for the english language.

Anyway like i was saying before I R in Banff. Stayed at the Rimrock hotel for the first 2 nights and it was awesome because everyone thought i was loaded! LOLOLOL! The view form the room was sick (i'll upload photos later). Now we're holed up in a cheap hotel on the main street.

What Do i think so far?
1. The toilets are really full! I'll post photos)

2. The beer sux! I've sampled a few ales and none of them stack up. This could be quite a problem. The beers I have wasted money on so far are:
Canadian-You would think as a nation if you were going to put your name on it you would atleast make it one of the best beers in the world? If I was Canada I would have called this beer America or Australia.
Honey Brown-Sounds like a 70s blaxploitation action movie as was about as good as one. As a sweet brown man I was offended.
Alexander or some shit-I wasted enough money on this beer i'm not about to waste time writing about it.

Kokanee Gold Amber Lager-The ingredients read: 40% Macs Gold, 40% Xport Gold, 10% Lion Red, 10% water. Sadly the best beer so far.

Ok so that's it the next post won't be so long. I promise. I'll also upload photos.
