Lol ya I heard. I was hoping he would take it easy on me but I'm sure a healthy sandbagging is in order... Call me tomorrow

How was last night? Maybe a report on Squamish photos?

It was a bit warmer today than yesterday so the snow was quite a bit heavier but still fun. A good workout for the pow leg.

Cruising back to the lift.




Another wall lap was in order...





Then back up Jersey Cream.



This time we hung a Louie



Then took a quick pit stop for some water and a hunk of banana bread.

After our break we decided to head over and sample Whistler so we headed over to;

I got a K2 split with sparks, pretty hyped about it although I am nowhere near responsible enough to even think about taking it or myself up on any snow covered peaks until we get about 4 more feet of snow. Can't wait!

At this rate that should be before Christmas!

Thanks Ekat. Looks like you will be skeezin soon!


Sick pic eastside!


I forgot to mention yesterday that the gondola takes 11 minutes in optimal conditions. It was pretty windy yesterday and stopped a couple of times so It took about 25 mins.


Here's a couple more clicks from yesterday.
