The lengthy time frame (i.e. one whole minute), between taking a shower after donning ourselves in bathing suits and making our way to the hot springs, almost drove me nuts. It was freezing cold.....
We were there for about 30 minutes before calling it a quit. It was fine walking out from the hot springs as our bodies already warmed up a fair bit.
After our big meal at the Keg Steakhouse, we were ready to hit the sack. The next morning, we got up and saw the pretty snowfall in Banff. We decided to walk around the town after breakfast, since the fog wouldn't offer much to see from the top of mountain. There are stores selling souvenirs, clothing, crafts, sport equipments and more, along the streets.

An amusing site where park benches covered in snow.
Around 2 p.m., we made our way to the top of Sulphur Mountain by taking the gondola ride. It was rather windy at the top of mountain, -15 degrees Celsius without the windchill. Some of the sites were closed due to the snowfall. They haven't gotten a chance to clear off the path for tourists to walk around.

"Where's home from here?" I wondered.

Is this still in Canada? Seems like it is forever winter there huh? Does it get way below sub-zero?
Yes, west of Canada. It's winter half of the time (Nov. till Apr.) in most parts of Canada. The coldest I've experienced was around -40 degrees Celsius!
Winter can be enjoyable too, sometimes ;)
