The view from the Golden Rim, Golden BC. The morning after the best day of boarding I've ever had. We stayed over in case the weather would be the same on Sunday. It wasn't. Internet told us this mid-evening and so we began to enjoy liberal amounts of rum, hot tub, and water slide.
This was the shit. Laughing, whooping, hollering, giggling, stupid happy powder. I didn't get many pictures. Too snowy, too fun, and poor visibility in most spots. This was my first time on my new board. New to me anyway. Only 3 years old! Longer than the M3 and dream machine in the pow. All day fresh tracks..... We went up Friday to ride the Saturday. Stayed at the hotel at the base of the hill, met people in the hottub, partied till 4:30 in the morning. Jeez :s Still got up on time to make breakfast (gramtasitic), coffee, and fresh drinks.
Except for this guy. He went back with one of our new friends and neither one remembered to turn on the alarm. His cell phone was set but it died overnight and they woke up at noon. The best was that we had to check out way earlier and he never brought shoes with him so what he's wearing in this picture is all he had as he ran from the hotel to find us and get the keys to our car to run to the parking lot and change there. We had been riding for hours. He did not get laid.
Magic wonderland. It was like SSX. Not even real. I can't even explain how many times I was in wonder. I realize how little I feel wonder until I see it again and again in one amazing day. Oh and Kicking Horse is my new favorite place. Went twice, 2 incredible times.
This was the first time there. Drea, Ben her bro, and I. Sweet day too.
There are three bowls and the sides of them are super steep but so snowy and you have to jump back and forth to turn. They look scary from the top but once you drop in they are totally safe. They make you feel like you're in a snowboard video when you carve a little then rip some big turn and plow waves of snow you can then rush through yourself.
Coooool.
Then I can catch cool stuff. A lot of people here complained about the weather and how winter never ended. It wasn't a very wet one. It had some warm breaks. It had some cool looking stuff. It started late and never said one bad things about us. I think this was a pleasant winter and if I could I'd buy it a drink.
Moving on.
And I did this because I had to. Had to break my streak. Heres the deal, a quick kapow:
- The best snow boarding I've ever done was this year.
- I went 7 or 8 times this winter.
- I was in my first reasonable car accident this winter, I wasn't driving.
- The other day I drove the jeep, my first standard car ever, and did really well.
- Works going very well.
- My shoulder is falling apart.
- I continue to impress myself.
- I have no excuse for my lack of communication with people I love or have loved to be around.
- I am on a rec volleyball team and it's so fun.
- I don't like losing at volleyball.
- Just because you're canadian doesn't mean NBA sucks.
- I never miss a chance to yell advice at wildlife when I drive by them too close.
- Saving money and having a girlfriend are both great, but mutually exclusive.
- There is no black and white in the blue.

I loved the whole blog and consider it my Mom's Day gift; and I complained to Dave that the pics wouldn't get big and then I got to the end - thanks Al.
