After the Christmas days it was time to burn some energy! It was time for Jasper National Park. We rented two rooms where we all fitted in and the next day, believe it or not, I went skiing! YES SKIING! I never thought that I would go skiing on this trip but I was lucky, because Santa gave me and David a ski pass as present.
So the next day we got up early, rented our equipment we needed, and the whole day we raced down the hill and had a lot of fun. Skiing in the Rocky Mountain: been there, done that!
On our last day, we all went on a tour to the Maligne River, which in the winter is totally frozen and has some spectacular view and ice formations. One part of the river is called the Maligne Canyon, and it’s the deepest point of the whole river. Our tour guide guided us through the canyon, over the ice to some huge ice formations. We even went into an ice cave and at some parts the ice was so thin that we were standing in 15 cm ice water.
The same day, me David and Kelsey, made the long way to Calgary. Unfortunately we were not able to take highway 93, better known as the mountain highway or Icefields Parkway which is one of the world most spectacular mountain highways. There was too much snow and the road was icy.
