Hey Pete,

Good to hear from you! That’s awesome you’re coming here in March. We will for sure see you then.

Great news about your season in Japan. It sounds like Japan has been getting smashed with snow this season. Let us know how your trip goes. Can’t wait to hear about it and see some photos!

Met up wit some lifty mates from last year this morning after doing a few laps to solar and hit up Blackcomb Park for a few laps. The 1st step up at the entrance is great, get the speed just right and it’s perfect even in low visibility. 1St hip is a bit small and quite easy to almost land to flat though so got to watch the speed heading in there after the step up.

After that bumped into some other guys from last season in the village and grabbed some beers and shot up to peak chair - sun and view above the inversion layer was amazing from out custom built recliners in the snow. Sat up there for a couple of hours enjoying the beers then rode down to the village stopping in fat tony’s for a chicken Kebab.. Pretty much perfect day on the hill.

Mizu I am with you on the Doner…

On a side note: Have been finding lately that if I ask for a “Doner Kebab” they ask me what meat! It is my understanding that the Doner is a mix of meats therefore it goes against my grain to say Beef! (this is something that has been quiet traumatic for me of late!)

Hell yeah!!!!!

And I always thought that the Doner was mainly lamb as well?????

I had one in the Gong once, and they called Beef!!!!! I just thought they had got it wrong????? When I got it, it actually was ALL Beef, and I dead set could not eat that sucker!!!!! It was friggin horrible!!!!! And I am a Beef Lover!!!!!

What do you guys think to a possible few days in Revy as well??? It will depend on the logistics and price etc of course but I really want to check that place out.

Rider’s Blog: Day 7

I went up for an afternoon shred today and kept riding till last lift. There was a pretty cool inversion layer a bit higher than mid mountain. I did a few laps, just cruising different runs and scoping out side hits. The groomers are getting hard and fast; still just soft enough to hold a solid edge. I’d love to see a storm roll in soon though.
