A Little Mountain Town

We arrived in Vancouver, Canada and spent a week with Bay and Luke. A good week catching up with some friends we hadn't seen in a long time and a chance for us to eat and drink all the things we went without during our travels.We arrived in Fernie after one last long bus ride and with not much more than a couple of personal recommendations and a website saying it is the powder capital of Canada, but they offered me a job on the mountain so the decision was made. We arrived a little late compared to all the other seasonal workers, but managed to find a room in a sharehouse and Bella found a job, all in a couple of days.Our new house on the left. We arrived to a week of cold but sunny weather. Fernie is surrounded by mountains that all had a little bit of snow on them. Very scenic.
A typical Fernie street. Well use to be. Now they look like this a day later.We had about 20-30cm overnight. Hopefully this is the start of something big.
Now this is what our house looks like.A few trees.
Maybe a Christmas Tree contender in a month's time. Just needs a few decorations and some tinsel. Might look for one a little bigger.
