Should i stay or should i go? Avaluate.

3am this morning was kick out time from the Royal, and having somehow managed to stumble back to the lodge, we dragged ourselves out of bed less than 5 hours later for the mandatory avalanche theory course. I did not feel good. That is an understatement. Fortunately, although my head was spinning, all the info went in and after a subway lunch (yes they have those in mountain resorts here! Score!) i was feeling a bit more human. The afternoon went by quickly, with a few videos explaining how to find and rescue someone who has been buried. Thats some scary stuff, gets the heart racing just thinking about being in that situation. A quick practice with the tranceivers and we were dismissed, heading straight out to a local restaurant named after one of the bowls in the ski area - Currie Bowl. Food was pretty good but i could think about was getting some sleep after a severe lack of it last night!
