Sun Peaks Travel Day

The travel day of Sun Peaks started early. I had to wake up at 5:00 am to leave the house by 5:30 am then be at the airport by 6:00 am!. After I checked my bags at the airport and put my skis in the over-sized luggage check-in, I met my new team outside Security.  The terminal staff threatened to call security because we were such a big group with a LOT of gear, so we headed inside to the waiting area. Than we waited, and waited, for a couple hours. Finally we boarded our flight. We finally took off from Toronto at about 8:40 am. We flew to Calgary, then from Calgary to Kelowna, then bused from Kelowna to Sun Peaks.

By the time we got to Calgary it was around noon Calgary time and I was starved.  We had an hour and a half to chill between flights, so of course we (the boys and I) went to Subway. Finally we boarded our flight to Kelowna. At 1:55 pm we took off and were on our way to Kelowna, one more step closer to Sun Peaks. When we got off the plane to Kelowna I realized that it was a really short flight. The flight had been 40 minutes long. When we got to the carousel I got all my bags and was really to  go. We headed out to the coach bus that was waiting outside. We loaded all our stuff in and were ready for 2 and a half hour drive to Sun Peaks. After that two hour drive we arrived in Sun Peaks!!!!! We had dinner and got settled into our room. I am rooming with two people: Graydon Taylor and Stefan Zivkovic. On the planes I sat with Norman Struthers and Max Wisemen. I can’t wait to get started skiing. And I can’t wait to shred some POW POW!
