I'm a Mountaineer!

We took the gondola up Sulphur Mountain in Banff and then we went along the ridges of the mountain. I've never been mountaineering before so it was a completely new experience for me. And what an experience it was! Simply amazing! I have never been so high up in the mountains, never climbed with my hands and counted so much on my upper body strength to pull myself up over those rocks, never used all that special gear for treking in the snow and ice, never felt the power of the wind and the warmth of the sun from the reflections against the snow. And don't get me started about the snow...The snow was so beautiful. We called it "goofy snow" as that's how it felt to play in it. Often, I would take a step in it and half of my body would be immersed in it!
The really cool part about this trek is that hardly anyone ever takes it in the winter so we were the only two people on the mountain the entire time. I can't wait to do it again as it was one of the most exciting things I have ever experienced!
