HELLO!
it's 2130 saturday night and really hot, 6degrees - yes hot. Ash, Laura and I went to dinner at Earls I had Albetas finest ribeye which is poor in comparison to australian beef but dont tell a canadian that. We then skated around town and got taken to the downstairs of a shop to view a glorious array of specialty boards - i think i want to buy one. Banff is quite flat and compact so skateboard is a good mode of transport although the other week the ranger`told us off saying it was illegal to skate on a public road and a $409 fine.

On thursday we had a bit of a staff party starting off with a 4man team slalom (weaving through posts on skis or board) race with a 80s dress code. I was skiing and managed to beat one of the ski intructors, i'll never let her live that down. After some beer and hotdogs the bus took us back to town and shortly after banff was swarmed by trolleyed norquay employees dressed in tight fluoro. Friday was a sore morning for those who had to work but its an undeniable right as a lifty.
