Another good snowfall over the weekend meant the last week started well yet again... 20 cm of new snow and the mountain to ourselves as you can see from the photos!
Made the most of it as it was forecast warmer temperatures so we had another couple of great days before it became a slushy and patchy but still really good.
Decided one day to have a day off as after 9 days on the trot snowboarding we were a little achy... decided to go snowshoeing instead. Hindsight is a great thing... had we known that snowshoeing was quite so exhausing, we perhaps would not have embarked on the 17km round trip up to Island Lake... 4 hours later and unable to move or speak, we made it back to the B&B... so much for the restful day off!
We headed back to Calgary via a detour to Waterton lakes on the Montana border. Absolutely stunning scenery but unfortunately everything was still closed for the winter and so driving through in the car admiring the views from a far was the extent of what we could do there... a visit in the summer another time is essential.
Took the scenic route back to Calgary to see our friends for the last time in a few years...!
... and so back to England for final farewells and preparations for Kerry's & Gus's wedding.
