So it does get really cold over here!

After yesterdays chill things only got colder today. Approx -25C is pretty chilly and even the instructors were suffering saying that it aint normal to be this cold.
Great so its bloody freezing and and it aint snowing - what is going on? I came to Fernie cos of its infamous 'powder' - well i would like to see some please as i have been hear almost two weeks and i haven't really seen snow.

We picked it up a bit today with Bruno our instructor who is from Wales btw. Started pushing ourselves a bit harder and it showed - we all had falls at some point or other.
We watched the cardboard derby for a bit as well - hilarious; you are aloud to use cardboard, duc tape and string to get 4 people down a hit as quick as possible. I have put a video below.



This afty we did some crazy stuff, but great fun including a mountain bike track through the trees - fast and narrow, with little way of stopping! Had a drink in the Griz bar at the end of the day or a Starbucks hot chocolate in my case and am now chilling writing this before spending more cash to pay for my extra activities.

Later there is the first massive party at the OGS - should be mental. Will let you know tomoz how it goes!

One last thing while i remember here are a few views of Fernie and Mt Fernie:
