skip - it’s just next to the old spaghetti factory

Ended up going out for a few hours today with chantelle, thick cloud cover came through over the afternoon so fingers crossed we get a little snow to freshen things up a bit. Did a few laps to red and also down through symphony via burnt stew trail, some great rollers there if you can carry enough speed in there. 1st and only real hit on hit run is definitely getting better, shot me up pretty well today, no need to pop off it which is brilliant.

Rider’s Blog: Day 6

Today was Michelle’s first non-work day back on the mountain since early April. For those who don’t know, she had surgery on her left shoulder in April. It’s nowhere near 100% yet but she’s back on skis for the first time since her surgery. She aims to be back on her snowboard by the end of the season but she needs her shoulder to get stronger first.

It was great seeing her back on the mountain. I forgot what an incredible skier she is. I had to tell her a few times to slow down and to take it easy.

We did a few laps to Emerald Chair, through various runs. We then decided to hit Garbanzo Chair for a run or two, but it wasn’t running, so we continued down to the village and decided to call it a day.
