Day 28 Jasper Friday 15th May 2015
Driving out of Fairmont Jasper on the shuttle bus discovered Chris’s sunnies were still hanging on the door in our cabin. Over the next few days and many calls surprisingly we failed to get them back. Onwards to the $2 shop!
Able to check into our new All Seasons self contained small apartment. Very close to downtown Jasper. Great little space with a small, quirky one appliance at a time kitchen.
Booked a trip through our new favourite tour agency Sun Dog Tours to go up to Skytram on Whistler’s Mountain.
A bus ride out of Jasper with a helpful, friendly, dry kind of funny, cool-dude kind of driver. Up the summit to the Skytram station then ride the Skytram up towards the summit.
Plans to complete longer hike thwarted – this time it was actually snowing.
Made an attempt on the summit!! Thank goodness for hiking poles but turned back when snow and wind got too much.
That night we discovered Syrahs of Jasper. A special dinner deal – it was spectacular. Everything about the meal was superb – perfect service, beautiful wine, and superb food. Special mention -Goats cheesecake and Mushroom carpaccio. On asking about a Chardonnay the waiter told us there was a Quails Gate Chardonnay Stewart Family – best in Canada – – Oh but they had run out!
