In my opinion, there is no better way to enjoy winter in February than spending a weekend in the mountains. Two friends and I did just that this past week, spending a weekend in Canmore to celebrate the retirement of our friend, Marlene.
It was everything you could want in a weekend retreat. Beautiful accommodations overlooking snow-covered evergreens, a snowy
toboggan hill and the Three Sisters Mountains. Leisurely breakfasts of fruit, yogurt, granola, muffins, fruit bread, coffee and tea. Brisk walks through snowy neighbourhoods, and even a glimpse of a coyote trotting down the sidewalk.

You have captured the W/E well. I love the pictures of the Three Sisters taken from the deck on Sunday. Sharon
