Rider’s Blog: Day 4
I caught up with Finney and Marc (who needs to get on Boardworld more) this morning outside the Roundhouse. We were meant to be meeting Rico (skip11) and Mike (his mate), however they were running a bit behind schedule as they were driving from the city.
Not wanting to waste time, the three of us decided to do a quick run down to Emerald Chair. I say ‘quick’ but I really mean ‘super fast’. We flew down to Emerald Chair in what felt like was only a minute or two. Marc pulled out his Whistler Blackcomb app which told us we hit 96km/h on that run - felt about right too. It’s such a nice feeling to warm up the legs and get the blood pumping first thing in the morning. Skip was still on his way up so we did another run to Emerald Chair.
We caught up with Skip and Mike, and the five of us went straight to Harmony Chair. By the looks of it, they had been running the chair for a little while but we weren’t too bothered. There was a solid line-up at Harmony; first day open plus weekend crowds. The weather was beautiful again up top and we decided to head along the ridge towards the bowls. We dropped in and got some nice turns. It was a bit windblown and packed but we found some nice spots. We got back in line and went up for another. Again we found some nice spots and fresh snow.
Looking at the lift line, we decided not to queue up again, so we headed back towards Emerald. We did a couple of quick laps to Red Chair and decided to part ways. I’ve been rehabbing my groin the last few days (which I hurt at the Shred), so I decided to call it a day while I was still feeling good. It was just a little tweak a few days ago which is making me play it cautiously. All in all, it was a super fun day out there. Great times riding with friends in bluebird conditions.
Team Tasman: Marc and Finney. Don’t blame them for looking silly, I timed the photo wrong haha.

Looks amazing guys. Love the updates Jeremy. Bummer about your groin, that’s still from sitting at the table at Thredbo, right?
I really need a Trial Map to map these turns you are putting in.
Not know what you are talking about takes the shine off somewhat.
