Are you guys unable to get CDN cash from your bank? Alberta has less taxes and cheaper gas (just a FYI)
I personally prefer AB for ice since you can camp anywhere you want....
I am currently working towards my ACMG assistant rock guide certification as it is the stepping-stone towards alpine guide cert.
I'm also doing my paramedic training as its a great part-time job, plus F/A skills are great to have.
Yeah, I can't really force myself to go to a place with mostly slab, from what I've heard, although I could be wrong. Im from the north island, no its not far away however...
