Norquay

The only place to ride at night around here, is on Friday night, at Norquay.

This hill is visible from downtown Banff, and therefore downtown Banff is visible from the top of Norquay. There is only run lift open, but it's okay because they have their park open, and a nice straight run.

I took a few photos with my phone (my only camera source right now...) because the view IS quite spectacular.

This first photo you'll see Rundle Mountain, and downtown Banff below...

The second one, is the same mountain, yet there is a storm cloud hitting it, making it hard to see--was cool to watch this cloud pass by though! Just full of snow.

I had a really good night of riding, I hit a flat/down box, slamming both of my knees off of it my first try (resulting in some nice swelling/bruises today), but then tried it more times and got comfortable with it.

Stoked on progressing and hitting a bigger box next time!

TOMORROW DAVID COMES... and i can NOT wait. holy moly.

I bought a whole whack of groceries today, a definite step towards growth and independence, $80+.... yikes. Today I'm cleaning my apartment--actually stripping it down and wiping everything with cleaners. Then maybe some laundry... could be a good idea.
