After I announced last December that I would be moving to Calgary in January, the number one reaction was "You're moving to Canada in January?!" And my answer was always a variation of the same. Really, the weather there isn't that different from Wisconsin, winter just lasts longer. Blah, blah, blah. Well, it is nearly April and I can attest that it feels like winter is never going to end. My only consolation is that the weather in Madison has been about the same the last week.
I got sick of giving the same answer, so I started saying "Winter is the best time to move to Calgary. I get to ski and enjoy other winter activities." Nearly 3 months in, we finally went skiing. Sad. But between traveling for work, busy weekends, and poor weather, we couldn't really get out before now.
We lucked out with the most amazing ski day for our first trip out for the season. We left Calgary at 7:30 AM and it was foggy with a snow/rain mix. I started to wonder if we made the best choice. But half way there, the fog cleared and the roads dried up. By the time we got to Sunshine Village, the sun was shining and the temps were rising. We couldn't stop saying what a beautiful day it turned out to be.
