I arrived in vancouver canada on the 22nd of janurary which averaged 3 degrees during the day which was a bit of a change from bangkok. After spending 2 weeks catching up with Hana we moved on to Banff which was -20 degrees on the days we arrived todays its a balmy -4 and yesterdays was a searing 0 degrees.
It snowed for 5 days straight which made for some excellent powder skiing waist deep in places nothing like the sheet ice on ruapehu. After 3 days riding its no time to nuckle down and find work. The pay is pretty crap but the snow makes up for it.
Banff town is beautiful and suronded by huge mountains
