The adventure of my life began, when I went to Canada to pursue an old dream. I have blogged a bunch about my journey already. You can read it all here. The snow has just started falling over Canada again, so what better time to publish this post almost two years after i went, and as the last of my housemates are leaving.
If youare thinking about going, don’t hesitate to leave any question you might have in the comment section below.

Beautiful Green Lake provided a great scenery for a run in the early and late season.
… Just as beautiful in the winter.
Just before christmas snow was dumping heavy.
Everyone loves snow. Even drivers…
Chasing the fresh powder had us going places we shouldn’t have. It went well though, and the ride was great.

The best run of the season. We had to wait a lot to be among the first, but it was worth it.
A tiny tree top broke through the powder and tripped me.
Powder run over.
Everyone kept left…
At one point the snow was so deep it got dangerous. One person died from drowning in the snow in a tree well. Here is a Faceboom post from someone who had a very nasty experience.
Dodgeball! I’m nearest the camera and clearly faster! 🙂
