Well, the end of my time in Vancouver is almost here. Tomorrow week will be my last day in work and we hit the road three days later. First stop is Banff, for a week’s riding at Lake Louise then we drop Jacqui off in Calgary for her flight to Toronto on Dec. 5th, while we continue down to Fernie. Fernie opens on Dec. 8th, so I’ll get a couple of days riding in there before flying back to Ireland for Christmas.

Nathan has been diligently checking the weather forecasts for weeks now and was getting a bit worried that there wasn’t enough snowfall, but things are looking up this week. Ange, Marksy and Floody are out in Fernie already and have sorted a house for us, and Ange posted photos to Facebook today of the first major snowfall in town. It’s looking good, and is slowly starting to sink in that I’ll be back snowboarding in less than two weeks. The excitement is building!
