Hello friends,
Today’s post is brought to you by a random adventure! As most are on my blog 🙂
Now this morning, my dad and I had planned to go snowboarding at Sunshine Village, which is a ski and snowboard resort in Banff, Alberta Canada. I highly recommend stopping by there and going for a day if you have never been and are in the area!
Even if you have never done skiing or snowboarding in your life you should still try it out! The mountains are one of the best places for beginners to learn. Lots of space, very wide runs (which mean they are not as crowded), and usually some nice powder … the snow you want! 😉 You can get one on one lessons, which is what my boyfriend did his first day boarding this trip, and in a few hours you will be comfortable enough to try it out by yourself. I will warn you that you will fall A LOT while learning, but it is all part of the process! Just DON’T put your hands behind you when you fall … or you will end up hurting yourself like my boyfriend did a few years ago his first time out!
…when will men listen … never is the answer haha
Anyways, back to the post at hand! My dad and I ended up going back to our cabin and picking my mom up to go out exploring. We went up this road at the beginning of our journey to find the road was closed. However, we parked and I hopped out for some pictures in the minus a million degree weather. This cute cabin was behind us so I snapped a few of it. While I was doing that, all I could think of was wow, I bet they are warm!
Next I trudged through the fairly deep snow to get some pictures of this massive valley we found! It was a decently nice day out besides how cold it was, so I was able to finally get clearer pictures. Unlike that first day if you remember from my other posts haha oh was the snow ever coming down that day!
No matter how many times I come to Banff, I am always able to find new little look off points or little back roads to explore. The possibilities of adventures in the Rockies are endless 🙂
By this point in the picture taking my dad and mom have made it out into the deep snowy field where I was. My mom was so cute all bundled up in her winter gear and her hat ties done up around her chin to keep it on haha I was a frozen little nugget and so as soon as she made it to me I turned around and headed for the truck!
Back in the truck now as I thawed out, I went through the pictures on my camera to see if any are decent. I always find it hard to actually see the quality of the pictures on that tiny camera screen, I like to blow mine up on the computer!
I thought the little pit stop down this random road was a success. Now we went off to eat a late lunch back in the town of Banff!
Do you guys ever venture down random roads looking for one thing, yet finding another? Let me know down below!
Until next time,
xoxo

Hi,
Gorgeous photos. They looked SO good I initially wondered if you were one of those people that passes off other people’s work as their own…Sorry> But you clearly have a talent and passion for photography and these images are breathtaking!

I didn’t mean to imply you were a thief! It’s just seemingly rare to see amazing photos like that on a blog that aren’t non attributed or falsely attributed. So your blog was a pleasant suprise!

Go there even if you don’t! I would suggest going in the summer then because you can go on lots of hikes/walks! Anywhere from super newbie in hiking to very advanced! 🙂

Going off the expected trails usually have great photo ops and even if they don’t the adventure is worth it. A very intelligent person once wrote to try different routes when travelling to a place you often venture. Keeps the mind healthy.

I’ve been to Banff too many times to count and I can honestly say that your pics are incredible, in that they are weirdly as good or better than being there. You absolutely have a special gift.
Anxiously awaiting your next post. A true fan.
