driving in canada

my first proper snowy drive up the sunshine village car park was ok, just a light dusting. But another couple of inches fell while I was up skiing which was enough to cover the 5 mile side road back to the trans Canada highway quite effectively, and its just busy enough for the traffic to compact the snow without clearing it. Took it slowly past the first car in the ditch, slower still through the flock of sheep or goats that had come down to eat the rocksalt/grit that they had spread on the road with no effect, and really slow past the Banff shuttle bus that was also in the ditch....

and at last i'm feel justified in spending that money on the all weather tyres.....

  1. I think the real risk for both parities is hitting them with a car at speed but licking stories have even hit the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-38329779
