Ramblings of a Northerner

Downtime and workshop end

January 6th, 2007

Decided to have a bit of downtime rather than have a last day of classes and went skiing with Laura, Siobhan, Spencer, Bryce, Marie-Helen and Ian.  We went up onto Sunshine and it was one of the worst skiing experiences I have ever had in my life.  Sunshine has no trees at the top, I was expecting it to be a bit more like Whistler…   but it was very cold (like -30) and very windy and nothing to break the blizzard as we skied.  The crew went off and Marie-Helen and I skied together just trying to get down from the top of the mountain.  Wasn’t so easy for Marie-Helen because after all there aren’t low visibility, icy, Rocky Mountain conditions found commonly in South Africa.  But we made it down to the half mountain point and met the others.  They hadn’t done much either because it was so cold.  We were happy to leave in the early afternoon and head back to the arts centre.  The workshop ended off as I always love with a show.  Some of the folks did performances from the workshop choreography that they had rehearsed or their actual shows they do professionally.  It was an excellent time and very entertaining.
