After having a blast sledding at Boulder Mtn we made use of our RV and rolled to Kicking Horse near Golden. The weather was exceptionally warm with having 11 °C in Golden. After having checked out the resort in the afternoon we hanged out at the Legendz Diner in Golden for the evening, enjoying the typical north american food including a massive, over sized milk shake. Over night it snowed close to 20cm on top. We had a fun day on the mountain and got a great insight what the resort would be able to offer on a bluebird pow day. This place is the pillow and shute paradise. Unfortunately the snow was very wet and heavy, so we were not able to take a productive advantage of the new snow. Nevertheless we all had a great time finally just shredding around the resort. Towards the evening we rolled to Banff where we spent the last night all together. The “last supper” at one of the local sushi places was a feast and we were ready to hit the local dance floors and celebrate our last night. After a short night we hit the road towards Calgary where we brought back our RV. Alex, Chris, Stani and Ueli flew home to Zurich the same day. I could not change my flight and therefore stayed another four days in Canada. Looking back staying was definitely the best option for me. My last four days in and around Jasper were a blast.
