Kelowna airport small but has everything, jetways, bagage carrousel, carrental counters, bus shuttle to Big White & Revelstoke, a Tim Hortons. The car rental gave us option of BMW X3 or Heap Grand Cherokee. Would have liked to check out the BMW but the Jeep had snow tires, this time at a reasonable $10/day upcharge. Made a stop at MEC, the REI of BC, where i was once again ashopping yenta and did a healthy contribution to Canada’s economy buying new Scarpa hiking shoes. I did need them as both my pairs gave up the ghost just weeks before the trip. The drive from Kelowna to Revelstoke was uneventful, arrived in the dark but no fog this time. Drove over to town where the streets were deserted, but the Vietnamese restaurant (not single south asian in sight) was pretty busy. It was decent but nothing to write home about. Quite a bit lighter than what wed get at home. The vermicelli fish sauce dressing was much sweeter.
Once again the parking lot of the Sandman hotel was full of trucks hauling snow machines. Eating myTimmy’s smore donut for dessert. Should know by now that the seasonal specialty donuts are intense sugar bombs.
Its now Sunday morning. Were being lazy as no significant snowfall for last few days. Checking forecast however shows that the prediction for ths week has gone up. Its expected to start tomorrow middayband peak tuesday with a forecast 51cm for Tuesday! It might be heavy snow though, temps are warm with this system. Anyway, taking it slow today, might check out the avy demos theyre holding today. Avy dogs are cool.
