Things to do in Downtown when it's cold

It is getting very cold here now (~-20 degC), luckily the downtown area is designed with a network of heated passages between the buildings so you don't have to venture outside between the main offices, shops, transit and cultural buildings.

Today I went to an excellent concert by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at the Winspear Centre - not stuffy or uptight, just great music in a beautiful modern building. Last night I went to see the Oil Kings beat the Saskatoon Blades at Rexall Place, which is right next to the LRT station.

All achieved with only the briefest exposure to the weather outside!!

To be fair though, I did spend most of Saturday attempting to learn to ski at Rabbit Hill - and you can't do this inside - yet.....
