5. It's been three years since I've been to Banff, I'm really missing it ....

Though there are a few smaller ski-hills a couple of hours away that we try to get to a few times a winter. My Dad introduced us to a brand new kind of skiing though - he modified a bunch of sets of short, wide skis - the kind that kids use, hooked up a tow-rope to the back of a snowmobile and told us to hang on for dear life. No skill involved but praying. It's gotten to be a tradition, even since he's gone, but so much fun. When you don't have mountains, you invent crazy things.

The women's hockey team had a good game today too against Switzerland. They're looking good! Hayley Wickenheiser's short-handed goal was great! I felt a bit bad for the Swiss team, you could tell they're quite young and perhaps haven't had the experience a lot of ours have. Their goalie was outstanding.
