Supposed to leave Canada.... but snow and avalanches didn't allow

So, we were scheduled to ski on 2/12 in the morning and then hop on a 6.5 hour bus ride back to calgary. We planned a later departure on Sunday, 2/13, so that we could see Sarah and Chris one more time.

We got the skiing in that morning....










but avalanches along the highway from the TransCanadian Hwy 1 to our lodge had closed 'our' highway. But by the time our highway had cleared... the TransCanadian Hwy was closed in two different places. They had us stay the night and the next morning... nothing was really better so they put us on the helicopters and flew us to Golden. Then we had to go South and South again... and although we started our day at 8am we didn't get to Calgary until 7pm (30 minutes after the last flight to Denver). ARGH!! **but we did get to have dinner with Chris and Sarah!


So, 2/14, we woke up and had breakfast to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary and then had dinner to celebrate back in the US!
