Kennels in Canada

I'm so behind in blogging I can't believe it....the Kennels arrived safe and sound almost a week ago now and have embraced all things snowy with open arms.  Benjamin has already gone up one group and Victoria and Jack have gone up two groups.  Andy and kerry are up the mountain....hurray!!! and can now see Big White and The Monashee Mountains in all their glory...an amazing achievement by the whole family in such a short space of time.
They have all skied non stop since they arrived so today we are taking a few days off to explore The Rockies.  We left Big White at 8.30 this morning and arrived at Banff at 6pm this evening having done one of the most amazing drives of my life, the time just flew by, I had no idea it had taken so long. The beautiful jagged peaks were just breathtaking and now we have 3 days to explore this stunning country some more.  We will have to get used to the real cold though, as we dropped down into Banff, the temperature dropped too and is sitting at a slightly chilly -26 at the moment. According to the weather the temperature is set to drop a bit more tomorrow.  I've never experienced such temperatures before and am wondering just how it will feel and more worryingly if I've brought enough clothes for the children... all I know is that it feels very weird when your nostril hair freezes in your nose!!
