Getting a good entry roll going...
So the conditions in Whistler have gotten better. Woo! We've had about 50cms of fresh British Columbian Powder over the last few days and the forecast (as wrong as it often turns out to be) i calling for much more snow. Booyah! Seems like the snow season is finally sorting itself out and making me happy.
Skied with my mega rad local kids on the weekend and had a blast. These kids are so fucking cool. Ive skied with two of the brothers-Kadin (8) and River (7) for the last 4 or 5 years. These kids are so hilarious its not funny. Theyre vegetarians, their folks smoke weed and the two boys ski better than most instructors I know. And they're total trippers....priceless. The rest of the kids in the class are just as cool and ski just as well.
Monday I skied with my other class of local kids. It dumped a foot of pow over night so we shredded all day. Got paid to ski pow. Win. The day ended on a sour note when Jonas (the youngest in the class at 8 years old, but undoubtedly the best skier) tried to throw a 720 off a 10 foot drop and concussed himself. Gaybar. Hopefully he wont be out for too long, I spoke to his dad this arvo and he has a check up next week to see how long he'll be out for.
Watched the Vancouver Canucks play the Toronto Maple Leafs the other night...great game! It came down to a shoot out with a former Leafs player taking the last shot for the Canucks. The tension was downright palpable as he skated in but thankfully he scored and the Canucks will keep their playoff hopes alive.
Thursday and Friday this week are my days off and the weather man thinks the sun will be out. The gameplan is to go out to the backcountry, build a jump, drink some beers, smoke some doobies and do some spins/flips. Hopefully should be a good day.
Take it easy yalllllllll.
