Lake Louise with Kate

 Had a very nice weekend at Lake Louise ski hill with Kate and Sofie and Markus and Kevin and some of their friends. It was a good chance to do some fun skiing, hit some ski jumps and enjoy the spectacular mountain views. We also had a big group dinner with live music and NHL playoffs in the explorers pub at the Lake Louise inn with all the kids and parents having a good time together. I stayed two nights in the Hostel next door. On Monday after everyone went home, I had a nice backcountry cross country ski up to Bolder Pass on the way to Skoki Lodge. It was a moody day with wind and falling snow and misty mountains. Saturday and Sunday on the ski hill were sunny and clear. Temple Mountain and the surrounding peaks and glaciers of the continental divide clear and blue and white for me and Kate, and together we both yelled out Hello to Dad and We Love you Dad from the top of his last ski run called Eagles Flight.
