We played with gravity!
It is hard to believe that we have lived so close to the mountains for 14 years and haven’t learned to ski before now. Recently a friend taught our crew to ski at a local river valley ski slope, then a couple weeks later we went big: Banff Sunshine Village.
We were given some money for this trip and had a wonderful time as a family. Spent the night before in Banff, which means a visit to Cows Ice Cream, then hit the slopes in the morning.
It was painful to go to such a beautiful place without a better camera, but I figured it would be more painful to land on a better camera. Which I would have done…
It was simply amazing to be up at mountain tops with some fresh snow from the day before. We had beautiful blue skies, and since it was mid-week, hardly any lines for the lifts. It was a really great day!
Cows Ice Cream – taste of Maritimes in Banff
Stayed in Banff the night before. First time the kids have been in a pool in almost a year
15 minute gondola ride up to the ski hills
Last run of the day – just made it for the final 4PM lift up, then had the place pretty much to ourselves (except for ski patrol making sure we got off the hill). Amazing.
Dropped off rentals, then supper at the Rose & Crown in Banff.

Only our second time skiing, this time at Banff Sunshine Village, one day after a snowfall and on a weekday, so hardly any lines.
