somewhere between poland lake and the orange chair...

Last night Brett and I attempted to camp at Poland Lake. Sadly, we're useless, and ended up camping in some random spot under a tree somewhere between poland lake and the orange chair. All in all it was a successful evening, we managed not to get too much snow inside the tent, and we didn't break the stove (which was very generously lent to us by Kevin). Brett however did almost set himself on fire, and by the time we got into our sleeping bags, we were too cold to do anything other than lay there and bask in warmth. I think in my tired ramblings I might have suggested we make out... but nothing happened so maybe that was a dream? oh dear...

Anyway, in the morning, Brett rode a shovel down the orange streak (quite a steep run) and I had a positively GLORIOUS run back down to the daylodge, where french toast awaited. I also got majorly made fun of for getting lost... and I got asked by at least ten people whether I "practiced safe sex". Boy do I love manning park.

The whole experience however did lead me to realize how much I love snow though. I think I would be the happiest person alive if it snowed all year. There's NO feeling like skiing through powder, it's so surreal. yaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!!

On another positive note: some guy at Whistler found my backpack that was stolen a while ago! Now I get my SIN card and my citizenship card back!!! YAAY!!! (Could I HAVE better luck???)

THat's all for now, camping photos will be posted soon.

Valentines day = the pits... thank God for snow!

Today is Valentines Day. The most hated of days... I always end up feeling like garbage on Valentines day, and today was no exception. I hate boys. It did snow for MOST of the day however, and all the trees have snow on them and it's FLUFFY AND BEAUTIFUL. Joleen and I skated home again, and the endorphins from the exercise are rushing through me -- I feel fantastic.

Jess, Brett, Me, and Elise skating down last week... good times were had by all, especially Brett, who had the most epic bails I have ever seen.

Over the weekend I went to a little gathering for Nicole's birthday party. I have to say it was FANTASTIC to see my UCFV friends again, they've been oh so neglected by me :(. SORRY!!!

Here are a few photos:

It was definitely a fabulous night.

I had a sweet weekend actually, went to the movies.. saw old friends again.. Also: GOT NEW TELE SKIS!! OWW OWW!!!! PARTY!!!!

AAAAAAAAnyway... it's time to go crochet some toques... (party at manning!)

Possible Excitement??

Possibly working in Europe this summer? VERY exciting. Apparently it'll take SEVEN MONTHS before I can get a new social insuance number however... (WHO STEALS THAT!?!) so hopefully it still work out... I applied for a position at Fat Tire Bike Tours Berlin... how SWEET would that be? We're also going to apply at some campgrounds and hostels... IM STOKED!!

Erika's outlook on life at the moment: stoked.

WE NEED MORE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It still hasn't come :( )

pray for snow!!!

I forgot to tell everyone to PRAY FOR SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

RAIN!?!?!

RED IS THE COLOUR OF ME BEING ANGRY BECAUSE IT'S RAINING.

That's right everyone, you read properly, it's raining, at Manning Park. The rain is melting all my beautiful beautiful snow. And the worst of it all, is that it's not even SUPPOSED to stop being warm ALL WEEK. I hate global frikken warming with a burning passion and this whole entry is going to be a huge rant about its RAINING and I can't even handle myself it's so warm outside.

GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Someone PLEASE tell me its going to be cold and snowing next week.. please... before I go crazy. :(
