A 'Big White' Christmas ! (Part III)

What ? No goose for Christmas ? !

Ok – so lets face it, three thirty something blokes were never going to get so organized as to buy a Turkey and stick it in the oven with all the trimmings were they ?

To our rescue ! The only and only ‘Swiss Bear’ Restaurant !! Nestled neatly within the heart of the village whilst tucking into a hearty breakfast of all things lardy and Canadian Christmas morning, we enquired and were lucky enough to get, a prime seat booked for our Christmas dinner that night.

Now granted whilst not very Swiss and waitressed by Sheila from Woopwoop-ulla-roo, who arrived to work each day in the pouch of her Kangaroo, we did get looked after very well scoffing for dinner a turkey packed with all the trimmings this fine Christmas Day. One that even included chestnut stuffing !

What more could a man want ! Well perhaps a few nightcaps back in Snow Shoe Sams and a days skiing to follow ? Sounds good to me ! That’s what we’ll do then !!

Boxing day had us rise with thick heads to stunning sunshine ready for another fresh air hit of glorious beauty skiing through huge open expanses of tree glade runs where the trees are 100% covered in snow and called ‘snow ghosts’ by the locals.

As snow began to fall during the mid afternoon, a short pit stop was taken in the tub to replenish tired legs before we headed out into the madness that is night skiing !

Bombing through the dark in ankle deep powder I felt compelled to restock our digs bar whilst using the most expedient form of transport in big white !

Ahh you have to love the Kokanee !
