On our first day we had a huge dump of snow overnight and it continued into the day. Driving to the hill, about 40 minutes from our AirBnB, was treacherous because of how hard the snow was coming down. That meant POWDER, POWDER and more POWDER, but it also meant that none of the runs were groomed so it was a grind at first but oh so fluffy!
The second day was less busy, clear, sunny and crisp. The cold doesn't keep us away and since we had all of our passes, we were able to hit the hill before 10 a.m. and ride all day until 3:50 p.m. with one break for lunch. The second day we spent a good chunk of our time exploring the back on the mountain and loving the fact that the runs were groomed, but also still lots of powder to go through, and there was way less people on the hill.
Sometimes we skiied/snowboarded all together and other times the girls (Anya and her friend), and Logan and I, paired off and did our own thing.
Let's talk all about Après-ski, the way we rested and relaxed after a full-day on the hill. LOL. When we returned back to our condo, we were pretty wiped to be honest so we were thankful for the coziness and vastness of our AirBnB. We hit up the local grocery store and made simple suppers, wine, snacks and movies. One evening my girlfriend drove in from the city and spent the evening chilling with us. We hit the hot tub, wine, and visited. The second night after returning from the hill the girls were tired and we picked them up supper, while Logan and I went out to a local pub for dinner to celebrate his birthday.
This sweater that I got for Christmas was the perfect outfit for going out for a casual dinner and for exploring Canmore. I love a good cozy knit and this one screams mountain getaway. Now every time I wear it, I can just pretend I am back on holiday mountain mode. 
Do you ski? Snowboard? Do you visit the mountains in your area of the world?
