As part of the celebration of the one-year countdown festivities

Panorama Mountain Village, Dogsledding
This was the highlight of my trip, dog sledding!
I was picked up from my hotel a driven a short way to meet the team, all thirty-plus Huskies. Located just outside of Kimberley Mountain Resort is Adrenaline Dog Tours. The great thing about this outfit is they teach you how to harness and hook up the dogs. But the best part is, they let you drive!

Panorama Mountain Village, Attractions
After a recommendation from one of the locals, I decide to take a lesson on glass
bead making.
I had no idea how much fun this would be. The class is offered right at the base of Panorama
Mountain resort and is definitely worth trying.
Once people understand the technique, they are
encouraged to rent the torches the following day to hone their newly
acquired skills.

I decided to take a guided snowmobile tour ten minutes outside of Panorama Mountain.
After a brief safety meeting and a short obstacle course, we started the ride up to a bowl full of fresh powder.
If you feel like you have enough energy, ask one of the guides to take you to the completely frozen waterfall. As you will see in the video, it's worth the hike.

Golden, Climbing & Caving
After a great day of snowboarding Kicking Horse Mountain, I decided to try my hand at rock climbing!
Located ten minutes from Kicking Horse mountain in the town of Golden, is a little spot called the Dog Tooth Climbing Gym. The main floor is for trying your hand at regular rock climbing. The second floor is for something called bouldering, that's where I decided to give it a try. What a blast!
