We caught our bus from downtown Seattle all the way to Lake Louise. It was no picnic, the bus ride was 18 hours of haphazard sleeping. Interspersed with stops at random bus stops. A few hours into the bus ride in Seattle we saw our first gun! I homeless guy had bought a bus ticket and instead of getting off his stop he refused and the police were called. The cops had guns and chucked him off the bus. Cool.
We got into Lake Louise OK, partied with William's room mates, drank a lot of whiskey then went to sleep! When we got up the next day it was -36oc which is flipping freezing.
William rifled through his friends equipment and sorted us all out with snowboards and what not. We hit the slopes and I have to say, snowboarding is much harder than skiing, I fell over a hell of a lot and hurt my bum, I thought I broke it or something! But alas, I got the hang of snowboarding by the second day but only on the bunny run, I had a go with Willy on one of the green runs but it was too extreme for me and I ended up on my arse!
Today we went to the lake in Lake Louise, it is all totally frozen there were some amazing ice sculptures and frozen waterfalls. we treked for about 2 hours up the mountain to look at the views which were awesome.
We still havent been into Banff or Calgary yet but we plan to spend a few nights there before we go, I have some great photos and will try and post some of them up soon.
