This contest looks too good to be true- and the video is the funniest thing I have ever seen!  A whole winter of ski bumming with no work, no agenda- nothing.  Just skiing in the Kootenay Rockies on the Powder Highway.  I think the contest ends November 22, and the winner starts bumming in the new year.  I should just quite my job and go for it. Check out the video for more information!!

Powder Paws in Rossland

January 26, 2009 | Tips from Travellers > Rossland, Dogsledding

 Rossland has the most fabulous new dog sledding experience- Powder Paws!  I went out on a picture perfect day today- with 12 dogs pulling the sled up the back of Red Mountain Resort.  It was absolutely stunning with a beautiful view out over the neighbouring mountains and a perfect blue sky.  The trip started out by having us help out with harnessing up the dogs- I couldn't believe how strong they were.  We took two sleds out with 25 dogs for about 45 mins.  It was really fun and would be a great trip out for a family or just about anyone- apparently their first client was a 70 year old.  They took great care of us- and it was an exciting trip back down the trail.  Also pretty interesting as the trail goes up thru the old mining area and past some of the old buildings.  This is a fantastic way to spend a day in Rossland.

Le Petite Fromage in Rossland

 Had the most magical evening last night in Rossland.  We went with Le Petit Fromage to a cabin out at the BlackJack Cross Country Ski Club.  It was wonderful- Bridget had the cabin warmed up by fire and the table dressed for a banquet!  We skiied out (took us about 30 minutes) and had a fabulous meal- Cheese fondue, cold meats, salad and to finish it off chocolate fondue.  The ski back took us a bit longer (may have been due to the schnapps, beer and wine which we consumed!) This was a fantastic and authentic Kootenay experience- would highly recommend it to others.
