The day started out like any other, up at 730am for a sweet day of ripping up the slopes. Only today was different we just had 15cm of fresh powder snow and I thought I'd take advantage of my Staff Pass and snowboard at a different resort-'Lake Louise'. WOW what a great decision that was, 3 of us got the bus out there and the conditions wee AH-MAY-ZING. The day was going brilliantly right up until the lifts closed at 4pm and it was time to go home. Then it went all wrong.
I put my snowboard on the rack with everyone elses and went inside for a quick toilet break before I got the last bus back to Sunshine Village. I came out no more than 5 minutes later and thats when it hit me..... my baby had been stolen. 460 GBP ($900) worth of brand new snowboarding kit had simply vanished. AHHHHH! So annoyed! Its things like this that make me loose faith in society!
As if thats not enough suffering for one afternoon, I filled out a Theift Report only to leave empty handed on my way to the bus stop. Thing is the last bus left 20 minutes ago. It was 4.50pm at this time. By 5pm I had decided to hitch hike back into Banff, I couldnt go home now because the Gondola closes at 530pm which left me bedless, snowboardless, and downright cold. It was at this point that Mother Nature thought she would jump in on the 'make Matt miserable day' and pull a violent blizzard from nowhere, of course blowing into my face as im trudging along the highway with my hand out hoping that someone would take pity on me and pick me up. I have to also add that I was still wearing my snowboarding boots which are definatly not made for walking long distances! I endured this for another 4 miles before anyone stopped for me.
So by 6pm I'm back in Banff and need to fill out a formal report at the police station so I truddged along the road only to arrive and find out that the station is closed and only in opperation between Monday and Friday.
To make matters worse I had to be at work the following morning for ASIP training but of course I was stuck in town!!! Thankfully I managed to sleep at a friends place but I was violently ill all night long, dry heaving. So I got a grand total of 30mins sleep and was up at 630am for the bus ride to work. I arrived on time only to throw up during the training sesion and be asked to leave.
AHHHHHH the last 24 hours has been a bitch.
Thats me done complaining now.
