All week I was excited to go down to Fernie (BC), to stay with some friends and check out the hill. Then I just kept getting a bit sicker every day... til, bam! I have a bad cold.
I did drive south on Friday and met Jeff down there. He had driven 1100 km from North Dakota that day and was dead tired. However, it was a beautiful and warm day on Saturday and my friend who we were staying with showed me around the hill, while Jeff went off riding in the trees. I really challenged myself to great effect and had a wonderful time. We all desperately tried to stay up to a decent hour, but were all in bed by 9:30 pm, happy and exhausted. On Sunday my sinuses kicked my ass and Jeff was really tired so we called it quits and drove home Sunday afternoon after a nice long and leisurely breakfast. Yesterday was a long weekend holiday Monday here in Alberta, and I spent it on the couch with a roll of toilet paper blowing my nose. Classic. So, not much went as planned this weekend and it was certainly not the epic snowboarding extravaganza I had hoped for, but... There is always next weekend. (Actually, next weekend's plan is cross country sking - it's much cheaper!)
