Went out looking for wildlife again today. No luck. Don’t
think we’ve ever been here this long without seeing something interesting.
Maybe it’s too cold? It’s been about 40 in the mornings, with a high around 60
most days. Maybe a day or two it hit 70. We wanted cooler weather, but another
10 degrees would be about right.
We drove up to two ski resorts. The first is Norquay, which
is just out of town. It’s a short route with sharp switchback roads and is really
beautiful. It affords a really pretty view down on the town of Banff, but today
was totally overcast, so no clear pics. Typically, we see mountain goats along
this road, but not today.
Next, we drove several miles out of town to the Sunshine Ski
Resort.
Ran into a lot of busses leaving there from taking hikers
further up the mountain to see wild flowers and animals. Had some hot
chocolate, which hit the spot. It was very active here compared to Norquay.
Lots of people working on putting in new cabling for the ski lift for next
winter. Check the size of the cable! Also, they had some gondolas that were
just frames now. So, lots of work ahead for them.
