Emelies Travels

When I was packing my bag back in Sweden for the season I was not expecting it to be summer here before I went home. I had to buy some new clothes and bikinis, even flipflops. So we've been boarding in the mornings and then done some summer activities in the afternoons, such as biking and canoing. Life is pretty good and I start to feel a bit sad to leave Canada in the summer because it's so damn beautiful. And I love the wildlife. A few weeks ago they had to shut some of the lifts down at Lake Louise because swedish liftie Klara spotted a grizzly bear at the bottom of her lift. And our housemate James saw a bear crossing the road in front of him when he was driving. That's pretty cool, my eyes are wide open for bear right now I tell ya! 

 

It's only a couple of days left to work, and the mountain is pretty dead right now. Especially at Tee Pee, but I don't mind that, I've been sunbathing in a bikinitop at a matress in my lonelyness. And got burnt about a hundred times. It was 21 degrees on hill the other day. It feels really wierd when I think back at the days when it was -25 degrees up there, and you can still go boarding with a 46 degrees differens. Crazy. But it's very slushy now, you can't even turn on a black run or you won't get any speed and get stuck. Yesterday it rained too, that will hit hard on the snow. I really hope it won't be a thunderstorm when I'm sitting in that top shack together with that propane tank. I really don't want to get hit by the lightening, again....
