Another great show, but unfortunately this one finishes off the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival.. this didn't prevent anyone from singing and dancing with this great show though..

Well, that wraps up my small contribution to this ridiculously fun festival.. I had a blast and my friends and everyone that I talked to feel the same. I am already looking forward to next year, but for now it's back to school.. bah!
