Well that was fun. I flew back to Calgary from Toronto last night. We landed no problem, but as we were taxiing into the ramp the plane decided to start sliding towards the edge of the ramp and the piles of snow, the pilot quickly hit the left engine thrust reverser and brakes to stop us from going in. Very impressive airmanship on his part, after he got us to the gate he came on the PA and said:
"Folks as you can tell the ground is much more slippery than it looks. Be careful driving out there tonight."
We all got a good laugh out of that, big kudos to our Westjet Captain and crew for keeping us on the ramp!
