Today, is the day..of days!

Good day to thee!

Another, very hot, blue sky day at Rossland!
Today is D-Day! (the day that matthew and James arrive!
Currently they are at Fernie Apline Resort having the day snowboarding, and then after that, they are to drive the long 8 hours down to us near the American boarder!

We had pretty much all of yesterday and today cleaning our little apartment for them. And now it looks very nice. Tonight we have planned to buy a big chicken! garlic bread and some pasta and sauce to go with it!
Today we have had the day away from the hill to give our tired legs a bit of a rest. We got up, had breakfast (raisen bran flakes) then settled down to watch the old will wonker for the second time on our tempremental little television. After my Brunch, Jessica has given me the nickname 'Daniel Two-Bagels'... And deservadly so!

Today i had to email angela to say that we couldnt work all the days she had suggested! For the two weeks that James and Matthew are here she wanted us to work everyday bar 2. Only because now Hilary has left to another part of Canada.
We are not quite sure how this will be resepted. Especially as it is her royal 'cat & oyster party' this friday!

Yesterday We went up to Red really early (for us) and got there about half 9. It was rather quiet we thought for a saturday (how wrong we were) and so we headed up silverload (the first lift) then traversed across to motherlode (the lift to take you to the top of Granite mountain and onto paradise side) when we arrived it seemed like the whole world and its dog was there!
The queue for the lift must have had about 200 people lining up infront of it!
We had a couple of runs and decided to make the most of the sun and walk back through the woods.

The day before that (Friday) was a really good day spent up and over on paradise side, stopping every time the snow chilled us too much at the lovely warm paradise lodge with its own real wood fire! Thus making 'southern comfort' our favourite run here at Red.
When we got home we had a lovely roast chicken dinner complete with brown cob. And for pudding we had Harry Potter and the something stone. It was really good and we even saw where we had been in Goathland! (god im turning into my dad!)

Right you are, i'm up and out of time. It might be a few days until we are able to write again as matthew and james both have weak bladders so will be difficult house guests!

Cheerio, Dan and Jess
