Back in the day when I was 9 years old, there was an extremely large snow storm that came through Calgary. It probably snowed one foot, but as a four foot eleven 9 year old child it felt like more. Anyway, my parents talked to many of my friends parents to organise a tobogganing day up by the University of Calgary. The hill was called suicide hill because it was one of the steepest, longest, and fastest hills in the North West part of Calgary. When we got to the hill there was no one there before us and a lot of us were scared to descend the hill. I decided to go first with my friend Graeme on an old fashion toboggan. We descended the hill flying through the powder having snow cover us head to toe. Then at the bottom of the hill we looked back up and started to run back up the hill. We continued this for most of the day. Going in big trains of people, spinning sideways, and hitting jumps. It was one of the best tobogganing days I have ever had in Calgary. Hopefully I can have a day like that skiing.
