We have arrived in Canada!
We are sitting in
our sweet room at Panorama Mountain which overlooks the main slopes,writing
this blog, reflecting on the first 3 days on snow. Feeling a little stuffed from the high volume of skiing. Everything is soooo convenient, slopes, gym, hot
pools right on the doorstep. Would have to say, we love it here!
There were a few
hassles getting over here... We were on board our plane at Auckland ready for
departure, movies selected and soon were informed there was an oil leak and everyone
would need to disembark the plane and switch to a new aircraft. Meaning we missed our connection flight to Calgary. Only hassle with that, was we
got left with having to re-check in our luggage in Vancouver. Air New Zealand's deal with
extra bags obviously didn't apply in Canada!!! It took some serious sweet talking for them to see it
our way. Finally, after missing out on our first standby flight, we made
it to Calgary.
More importantly
our skiing feels good, it doesn't feel like we have been off snow at all. Right
on track! We have been free-skiing and some training in brushes and hopefully gates tomorrow.
The snow here is a
little lean with only 2 runs open at the moment. However, the guns will be
going all night and snow is forecast on Sunday.
