March 05, 2005 (Saturday) - Kerry and I met Jennifer (Jen) and her husband Doug at 7:00AM at Planet Beach Tanning Salon in Valley Ridge. This would give us 2 hours to get to the hill and half an hour to do rentals. Lifts open at 9:00AM. Great morning and great day! We met Matthew at the Rental place. Kerry decided to take snowboard lessons and stay at the Bunny Hill for the morning. Jennifer, Doug, Matthew and I took the new Gondola all the way to the top. I followed the three around. Oh! They are such good skiers/snowboarders! I had a blast! Jen did snowboard and Doug/Matthew/me were the skiers. I just love to ski. We did diffrent trails:
1. Green Trails were: Larch Side (Marmot and Pika)
2. Blue Trails were: Larch Side (Larch and Wolverine), Frontside/Southface (Wapta, Junniper)
My ski was a 161, but I switched to a 150 in the afternoon as Matthew recommended. It was much better! We then had lunch at the Main Lodge at Noon, and went back to ski until 4:00PM.
We met Elvira and Cherrilyn around 3:30PM. They decided to stay and we decided to head back to Calgary as we were exhausted. But before we stopped in Canmore for a good supper. We had supper at a place called the Bolo. I had Mariachi Chicken and it was a lime marinade chicken on a bun. Delicious! Great day, great company, great food!@ All great combinations!
