Hi everyone. Hope all is well at home, thanks for the messages :)

 Went skiing in Whistler on Saturday and it was awesome-the best snow I have ever experienced (and Gemma tells me it wasn't even close to a good day) and so many lifts and places to ski - IT ROCKED BIG TOME!!!! Then had the DJ Experience that night which was supposed to be good only the queues were huge and Jo got a little bit grumpy!!! Oops. Decided Whistler is great and everyone should go there at least once. Think Gemma is pretty  happy to be staying there for the summer.  She has become an awesome snowboarder too by the way.

Left for our Moose Bus trip on Tuesday and its going great so far (spending more than I had hoped but never mind). Today was especially good. We travelled from Shushwap Lake to Banff. Stopped to go go-carting which was loads of fun. Then our bus driver got a speeding ticket! And then we saw lots of wildlife including.....two grizzly bears-bus driver had only ever seen them twice before and girl at hostel who has lived here her whole life has never seen one so she was very jealous. Best part of trip so far. Got photos but they aren't very good as too far away.  Will try and post more photos in next couple of days.

Take care, Jo. xx
