I had plans for my June vacation to go on a dirt bike trip to Georgia, but alas plans fell through. I decided to go check out the East Coast of Canada. This trip was all about relaxation, camping and hiking.
I stayed first at the Sugarloaf Provinicial Park. It was a very nice and clean park. Lots of nice hiking trails (multi-use).
I had a visit from a very friendly park employee who gave me a bottle of homemade pear wine. :)
I then drove to Kouchibougac National Park - Wow! This park had it all
and I was there during off peak, so had the park to myself. Absolutely
great hiking trails and beautiful scenery.
On the drive home, I decided to cut my drive by stopping at Captain Homard in Ste-Flavie, Quebec. I am so glad I did. The food was delicious. Tenting in such a busy spot was not great though, but c"est la vie!

April 2018 - Killington Mountain, Vermont
I just couldn't get enough of skiing in 2018. It was just too good. So, decided to go check out Killington Mountain in Vermont.
I had a really really good time. Conditions were really good and I did a little shopping - Black Crows skis were being demoed and I tried them - fell in love and had to get a pair. Absolutely great skis, so great my ski group each got a pair! Check em out here : https://www.black-crows.com

Road Trip 2018 - March - Kickinghorse and Revelstoke BC
Because I got the ski bug big time after Mammoth, I decided to go check out Kickinghorse and Revelstoke, BC. Wow!
Flew to Calgary and rented a car to drive to Golden, BC and Kickinghorse Mountain. This mountain was so much fun, I loved all the trails. Very challenging if you want it to be.
Then drove to Revelstoke. What a gorgeous drive through the Canadian Rockies. We got stranded on Highway 1 for about 3 hours during avalanche maintenance and I got to meet this little cutie.
Revelstoke was beautiful, but the weather did not cooperate. It was rainy and foggy and the runs were pretty slushy.

Road Trip 2018 - February - Las Vegas and Mammoth Mountain, California
I got the brilliant idea to Fly to Vegas, rent a car and drive to Mammoth Mountain to ski, and what a great idea it was!
The drive from Vegas to Mammoth was spectacular. What a beautiful part of the world. I drove from desert to lush green forest to winter wonderland.
Super fun, twisty, tight roads - I wished I had my motorcycle!
And then finally, Mammoth Mountain.

Vegas Again..
and then Red Rock Canyon.
