:: Trippin'


Back down from the trip. Had a great time. We took Joe's vehicle. I'd call it a car but that's giving it too much credit. After we stopped for some Tim's breakfast (day 1) the windows completely fogged up. Of course the air system in the car can only blow straight out the front vents so for the rest of the trip I had to work the food-bag-air-directional system to de-fog the windshield.

It worked very well, too.

We had breakfast sandwiches. Note: the flavour of Tim's coffee is its own stimulant, it's not built for enjoyment.Up. That's the actual Lake off in the distance. It's a 5 min drive from the Lifts.


Planning routes? Nope talking about gloves. He had snowboarding gloves with wrist protection built into them and was the only one riding skis. Joe needed 25 headshots for that camo.Andrew (Bear). Silent Chant (chanty). adk (a dead knight).Taking photos wasn't always on my mind. But I took a few. This one would have been sick if the sun moved around behind us.


Our veiw.
This valley is where the Trans Canada valley runs through here.
The back side. This is a very silly position for a very serious man.

This guys the shit. I'm only wearing underwear and a 'T' under those. I can ride down to -15 comfortably. Less if necessary. Course I was wearing toe warmers. They worked great.
That hill behind was the very top of the mountain. You have to T-bar and hike a bit to get there. We finally made it on our last run of our second day and I finally hit the best snow of my life. And there was so much more.This pic and the vids are form the top of the top.



Beer break. Coke break for Joe.Beer for me.


These are the hills I'm going to hit the rest of the season. Pure POW


This is all I got of sunshine really. I took very few pictures as there were millions of people and the snow sucked and we had a generally bad day of riding. But we all learned a lot.
