We're going to Sunshine on Saturday ...... haven't even been skiing once since that memorable trip with Smelly and Butch !!

I think I've completely lost my nerve now!

Butch Cassidy

Was EXCELLENT today .

Mountain Girl

You will be fine. The conditions were AMAZING today

It was just spectacular make sure you take a camera with you and some sun tan lotion though. This grey cloud we have in the city doesn't exist up there . I was sad to have to come home to calgary, whish we'd got organised booked a hotel and stayed up there .

Oi and Morw just remember if you can ski the womens downhill you can ski anything .

So we had a brilliant day, absolutely brilliant!

It was blue skies and HOT at Sunshine (15 degrees C?), but the snow was fab, and my darling sons insisted I went back up to the Great divide, where the views were stupendous!! I even coped better with the descent this time!

Then we walked the Johnston Canyon to admire the wonderful frozen waterfalls, and back to a great dinner in Banff at a mexican restaurant with the unlikely name of the Magpie & Stump! http://www.taximike.com/magpie.html

Sorry about all the superlatives (and for hijacking the thread) but just had to share!

I've just been playing with a new feature from Google Maps.

Thought I'd put the Kensington Pub and Sunnyside Station on the map might make it easier to find.

Which leads me to a question for those who have been there. Did I get the symbol on the right corner?

If anyone can think of anything else that should perhaps be on the map that could be of help, let me know and I'll add it or them.

Cheers
Steve

From memory Steve The Pub is actually shown as being where Starbucks is (theres a back lane on 10a Street the pub is there).

Isnt the LRT station a little south of where you've put it as well?

Otherwise good job.

Steve_P

Butch have a look at the satellite image at the closest zoom.

I've moved the pub symbol back to where I think you mean. As for the station I thought it should be further south too but again if you look at the satellite image it's right where it should be.

Can you think of anything else that should be on the map (parking or anything).

Thanks
Steve

Mountain Girl

Its correct where it is.

Butch Cassidy

Steve,
IF I could find parking in that area I'd say put it on!!! BUT we usually find on street parking (eventually).

When I zoom the map out it does look like the station is right!!!

Oh well it'll be a good night anyway.

Steve_P

How about that parking lot on the south side of Memorial Drive just west of the bridge? Or is it always full?

Hi guys - I take it that parking is a bit of a nightmare ? Is it easy to walk to from, say, centre of downtown, ie, how long ? or worth a cab? I only ask as I fear I may be tempted to have more that 'just the one' !

Parkings no problem, loads of areas to leave your car as the wardens clock off at 6, but if you want to drink use the LRT

"Wardens" now there's a word I haven't heard for quite some time.

I believe we like to call them By-law Officers.
