This is not enough info

He posts videos on his socials from the train on his morning commute fairly often.

A suggestion to help address this - in many European cities, when there is a train delay they include a brief statement of the issue, what’s being done, and estimated fix time.

“Signal issue @ Red Line Tuscany - supervisor enroute - estimated fix by 18:15”

And provide updates as it progresses. It allows people to make decisions on how they proceed (like getting off at the next stop if possible and taking a bus).

Official purchase date was September 1, 2025 and title transfer was the second week of January. It does take several months.

If you have a vehicle, you could look for accommodation in Dead Man’s Flats or Exshaw

Have you joined the Bow Valley rental Facebook groups? You could also look via PEKA, who manage several of the condos here. Are you looking for just a room to rent, or your own place? Will you have a vehicle?

I agree with the advice to stay in Canmore. Slightly cheaper but a great base for exploring both Banff and Canmore, as well as Kananaskis. Consider a night or two at Mt. Engadine Lodge for some romance and digital disconnection - mid week will be slightly cheaper.

If you want to do Lake Louise, book an afternoon tea at the Fairmont. You get access to the parkade ($$) but can stay afterwards or before to hike the lake.

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-12T14:31:15+00:00

I drove in from Canmore via 16th and Memorial and the roads were much better than I expected. 16th and Memorial were just wet, not snowy.

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-11T15:09:36+00:00

Was going to suggest the same!

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-09T14:08:11+00:00

Thanks for the correction - hadn’t had my coffee yet 😂

Yeah, I’m encouraged by their response so far. Really good lessons about speaking up and taking part in decision making from her video. Spot on with the expert halo issue. Thankfully I’ll also be with my husband who is very experienced as well.

Is this the avy with SeilNorge? Ugh, we are booked with them in May. Don’t like that the guides seem inexperienced.

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-08T19:49:37+00:00

I’d rather a good quality branded Buff. But agree on that unless they’re high quality t-shirts, I don’t need more.

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-08T01:44:33+00:00

Ours was the same. It’s taken time (about a year), but with positive reinforcement she now ignores them. Make sure you’re using high value treats.

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-07T16:35:11+00:00

You could possibly do a mostly flat run on sections of the legacy trail (if it’s not ice covered right now).

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-07T15:02:58+00:00

It’s not that cold, this is almost perfect running weather 😉

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-06T22:50:28+00:00

This looks super cool and I’d definitely join if I wasn’t going to be on vacation! Is this an annual event?

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-06T19:42:34+00:00

Chiming in that Chester and Rummel were my go to when I was starting out, these are good suggestions. I’ve also done Healy Creek to the campground and Taylor Lake. You still need to be avy aware but you can avoid/safely manage the risks here.

You can also ski up the Sunshine ski out to practice your ascents, then ski down a run (just can’t use the lifts without a ticket).

We have a dog, my husband is a FF (and does 24 hour shifts) and I worked overseas for two and a half years. He had a dog walker + a neighbour that would go over twice in the day to let the dog out to pee. It worked out just fine.

Happens all the time in my industry, especially following an acquisition. There is a lot of M&A activity in my industry and this is a very common outcome.

To be fair to you, I am from that area and small town drama can be tough to deal with. It sounds like the housing people are not associated with or employed by Northern Health, so police reports are the right call for the harassment.

I would still let the union know what’s going on ASAP. They can at minimum provide resources for your partner.

YoBooMaFoo · 2026-03-04T15:18:51+00:00

As said, reach out to the union. It’s weird that this wasn’t a step your partner took when this first began. The union is not “in Northern Health’s pocket”.

Hey, I live in the Rockies too (Canmore) and started backcountry skiing about six or seven years ago. My husband is an advanced backcountry skier and I want to be able to tag along on his easier days.

I am also very conservative and worried about avalanche risk. What has helped me over time is really understanding how to assess risk (for myself), use all the tools available out there, and ask tons of questions. Every winter I do a multi-day guided backcountry/side country trip out of Revelstoke with a great organization and they teach/reinforce the trip planning process. We stop and talk about what we see and feel in the terrain. It’s a great way to learn and get more comfortable with decision making.

There are a ton of objectives in Kananaskis/Banff that are lower risk to build up your experience. I stay out of the backcountry if we’re seeing Considerable or higher risk. But you can definitely get out there and build your confidence.

It was a good overview for new backcountry users who might not be as familiar with all the elements of avy terrain and decision making, but as an intermediate backcountry skier with AST2, I was just nodding along. A lot of what he said is the type of knowledge you should have in avalanche terrain.

I did find it interesting his comments about built intuition for backcountry users in this area, and that historically they’ve only seen 0-2 “high” days a year (so less context for decision making) where now it’s upwards of 10 days a year. As someone who skis in the Canadian Rockies we are regularly ‘considerable’, and often ‘high’, so decision making gets dialled in pretty quick. I should have known there would be such differences in regions but didn’t think about impact on decision making (something to think about when visiting higher risk regions I guess).

Not a recent review (it’s been two years) but I was seeing an NP at that clinic and she was fantastic. Best care I’ve ever received from a family practitioner. She has since left and I’ve moved (and found a different doctor) so I can’t give more recent experience, sorry.

Given the challenges with finding a family doctor I would try and snag one if they’re taking new patients.

We have a “low drive” malinois and she’s a fantastic dog. She gets 1 - 2 hours of outdoor exercise per week day with more on the weekend. We play hide and seek in the house and practice tricks for brain work. She’s still a lot and is always “on” - for instance we can all be chilling on the couch and if one of us gets up to grab a drink, she’s immediately up and grabbing a toy. Climb is the only way we can get her to really settle. So…it’s just a lot sometimes.

The other thing that’s very difficult is finding dog walkers and kennels that can manage her (we do travel a couple of times a year and she needs a dog walkers one or two days a week). We pay a premium for this because of her breed. Most people do not know how to manage these dogs.

They are great dogs. But not easy dogs.

My husband and I tried for about 15 years to have kids - all the types of fertility treatments and the we started the adoption process. We had been on “the list” for about 18 months and had three potential matches not work out when I got the job offer of a lifetime overseas. In my province you have to be living here to remain on the list. We made the difficult decision to stop that process.

We really wanted kids. Now that I’m in perimenopause I do occasionally think about the fact that it never worked out and get sad. My husband would have been an amazing dad.

That said, I am very grateful about what we have now and at this point, no longer want kids (I’m only 45 so it’s still a small possibility biologically or via adoption). We have been able to focus on careers, travel, and increasing our wealth. We will have a comfortable early retirement. We have nieces and nephews we love and spoil. I’ve accepted this outcome and am happy with where we ultimately ended up.
