Skiing Adventure
My helicopter trip to the Cariboo Mountains of British Columbia in Canada turned out to be the most exciting adventure of my life. The trip stated when my father and I left Los Angeles on a jet liner bound for Canada. After the three hours of flight we landed at Calgary International Airport and took a charted bus along with thirty other skiers through beautiful mountain passes to the quaint village of Banff. We soon arrived at the rustic, elegant Banff Hotel which is at least a hundred years old. After an outstanding dinner of roost beef, turkey and fish in the magnificent dining room of the hotel we retired for the night. The interior mountain ranges of eastern British Columbia hare excellent snow conditions from December to May. The mountains provide the best and most exciting skiing in the world. The mountain range that we skied was called the Cariboos which covered about one hundred square miles. The tops of the ski runs were at ten thousand feet and bottoms at two thousand feet. The skiing region has some runs extending for several miles in length. Most of the ski runs took from 30 to 45 minutes of continuous skiing from the tops to the bottom of the mountains.
