Re: Skiing

i was close to being on the alberta ski team a few times, but could never quite break through. it's very very competitive here, as you can imagine with all the great ski areas we have. I skiied with a small club out of Edmonton (about 4 hrs from the mountains), but we pratically lived in the mountains for the winters.

Re: Skiing

I can imagine the competitiveness. Sounds like a great time of your life.

Re: Skiing

best skiing i ever did was whistler blackcomb. those two mountains are marvelous and the drive up there from vancouver on the "sea to sky hwy" is even more of a treat on a clear day. i've never seen such sights and i've never had such good snow to ski on.
