Are you serious?
I'm going to Banff in January 10-16th for a Retreat.
That's freaking awesome.
I've never been to Alberta before, I'm so excited!

Hey guys, it's a gap year, meaning I have a year off before I go to uni, meaning I wanna have some fun lol, I'm gonna be working in the mountains so I can pay my way (although the accommodation is already paid for) and then ski, snowboard, all that kinda thing for the rest of the time. So excited  ...I've been studying for 13 years, and when you're only 18 years old, that's a long time!

I love the idea of a gap year. I think it's a great idea and something most people need to do before they begin their college/uni studies. I wish we had that concept here in the States. I think when you're 18 many people don't really know what they really want to study. A year to experience life and figure that out is a great idea.

Some people even take their gap year after their uni studies rather than before, depends on the person. But yeah it's definitely a good thing for those who aren't sure what they want to do in life, or those who just want to get out and work and see the world for a bit! I already have a place at university to study psychology, but I don't start the course til next october

I agree, I am graduating a semester early and going to work at a dressage barn in Vermont for six months. I didn't want to take a year off, but I still wanted to have that work experience and the independence of living on your own before I went away to college.
I figured it would be one of the last opportunities I have to concentrate fully on my riding without other responsibilities.

Any hiking/camping planned? Banff and the surrounding areas have some great spots. To really get what Alberta offers you need to get out of the urban areas.
I went camping with my siblings last August to a group of lakes outside of Canmore, which is about half an hour from Banff and about 10 minutes from Banff National Park. Watched the sun rise here. (yeah, they're a little big :p)
But yeah, have fun. Find the beauty in the place and don't let the locals scare you away.
