So excited for Sushi Village, going to be a great night cheese

Went up Blackcomb this morning since they were opening up 3 of the 4 main alpine lifts - Horstman T-Bar, Glacier Express and 7the Heaven.

Overall they were all very average, cover was very solid and windblown with top of 7th still covered in rocks with the cat tracks being the only places with solid cover and even then down the bottom the groomers for 7th were all very poor with uneven grooming. Heading down to glacier wasn’t exactly great either - pick of the areas was definitely Crystal area which has been open for a while now, much nicer conditions overall and as usual nobody out there.

Shot over to Whistler for a top to bottom lap afterwards and cover was just as good from top to bottom as it has been for the past week. Super fast on a hard base with some light snow on top. Down Orange Peel Marc’s run keeper said that he hit 109km/h which he’s pretty stoked about to say the least.

Just got home from another brilliant day on the mountain..

Had a late start today being the weekend which usually means big crowds but it was absolutely dead up on Blackcomb. Went up with Marc and was later Joined by Meg and then Blake. Just doing some chilled laps working on our switch riding and starting to throw in a few small spins here and there on the flats and some side hits. Landed pretty much everything and my switch riding has come a long way after just a few hours of constantly riding switch so I’m pretty stoke to say the least.

Going to head up again tomorrow and keep at it.
