Rocky Mountain Fresh

When you're travelling, working out and skiing, then there will come a point where you start to smell as bad as my sister. It's important that a) you recognize when you start to turn, and b) that you know what to do when that moment arrives.

When I lived out in Calgary, Alberta I frequently went skiing at one of the resorts around Banff. On my way back into Calgary I would stop in the town of Banff looking for places to spend my money. Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to discover the Rocky Mountain Soap Company.

As their web page states they make bar soap by hand using all natural ingredients. I love the smell of a lot of their soaps (Alpine and Mountain Man and others not listed) and there is something extremely satisfying about washing your skin with manly chunks of cedar. It's a visceral sensation.

If you find yourself in Banff, Canmore or the West Edmonton Mall, then you owe it to yourself to walk into the store. I personally can't stand the smell of chocolate stores, but I imagine if I liked chocolate, then the experience would be something like walking into Purdy's.

I'm off to an interview this afternoon. If I am successful, then I may start posting some higher ticket items. If not, then my next post may be about a particular brand of gum I enjoy.
