the hills are Alive….
Took the morning off from unpacking and went on an excursion up Grouse Mountain. Awesomely fun, awesomely beautifuly, DAMN cold! Low of 6C on the Mountain today.
Saw some great carving, huge bears, hokey, but amusing lumberjack show. Tram car up and down was thrilling. Too cold for chairlift this time.
