Back Slippin N’ Slidin
Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains are both officially open and I must say, the times are good! While it isn’t exactly the snow we lucked out with this time last year, there has still been plenty of the goods to go around!
With only one rest day in the last two weeks, my legs are beginning to feel comfortable hammering turns in the deep stuff once again. I woke to a foot of fresh snow on my deck this morning so we spent the day rallying in the trees as flakes continued to fall. Since opening I’ve been skinning up to the Horstman Hut on Blackcomb, or the Bump Room on Whistler Peak in search of more vertical and some deeper snow before our little storm hit last night. I even had my first turns down Ruby Bowl a couple days ago with Kye, Callum, and Tobin.
Here’s a really quick chop with the new GoPro from a couple tree runs on Whistler yesterday.
Spring time, POV time
I’ve been rocking the POV helmet cam here at Whistler the last few days and I’m just learning to edit the clips together with my IMovie. I’m hoping that after this weekend sometime I’ll be able to post a quick edit with some of the lines I ski’d this week.
Today Callum, Kye, Nick and I made our way up the Stairmaster for a noon lap on Yusumi (I really should check around for the official spelling). The snow was good and we lucked out at the top of our climb when the light got good.
Spring is in the air. Hopefully the snow has been holding up in your neck of the woods. Get amongst it brethren.
