Whistler 2011 / 2012 - The Community Blog
Kyle, you riding today? I’m coming up in the arvo. Michelle said she bumped into you at Mo Joe’s.
yeah sure am, meeting a mate who works here at 12.15 at wizard chair. you should come join us or send me a text whenever you get on the mountain
Stoked for you Jeremy, sounds like a killer day!
Hey there,
Does anyone know of a cheap way of transferring money from my Australian account to my Canadian account? If I use paypal, it costs a flat fee of $40…. are there any other cheaper options?
I’d say the best way is a trading account with xe.com but it can be a bit time consuming to set up a trading account. They give the best rates by far, with no additional fees.
If you want me to do it for you, I would be happy to do it on your behalf through my account.
Did you get to ride the fresh pow on Saturday?
jacs - setup another paypal account for your canadian account then just send from one to the other as a ‘gift’ ‘rent’ ‘misc’ etc and you won’t get charged the fee. Thats how we got our cash over here for our first month rent/deposit.
Rider’s Blog: Day 43
Had a really fun afternoon with blackbanana (Kyle), skip11 (Rico), and Ed (one of Kyle’s buddies). Finally got to catch up with Kyle on the mountain. We all went up Peak; visibility was pretty low up top but we managed to scoot across to Doom and Gloom. The snow was still pretty fresh in there and I got some nice lines. For the second run we went over to the Everglades / Bonsai, which are the trees over West Ridge, which drops you down into West Bowl and Highway 86. I got separated from the others but I had a sick line through the trees and we all made it down safely. I went up for a final run through hit run. Showed Kyle some fun side hits and rode home. I was only up there for a couple of hours, but a fun few runs none the less.
Good day today. Got to blackcomb around 10.30ish.. rode with a couple of my buds on blackcomb just crusing around and terrain garden. Head over to Whis and met up with blackbanana and Jeremy. My first time riding doom and gloom (which I like way more than the trees) and the bonsai/everglades. Definitely need to practice on my tree riding more so I can ride those trees and actually making fluid turns.
Foot has been healing up quite nicely over the past few days which is good news, still a fair way to go but it’s noticeably better than it was a week ago so the antibiotics are doing their thing. Worked the past 5 days and working the next 5 since if I can’t ride I may aswell earn some cash and get ahead for rent next month. all going well I should be back up the hill next Monday which I’m really hanging out for as I’m missing riding like nothing else at the moment.
Thanks for the info on transferring money! I am trying to find out why I got charged the $40 to transfer between paypal accounts as I thought I did put it down as a gift… will wait to hear what they say.
Rider, thanks a mill for your offer; so kind of you! If I can’t do it through paypal I might ask you the favour.
Rider’s Blog: Day 44
(This blog post is from yesterday).
Caught up with Kyle and his friend on Whistler. We did a warm up run through hit run. Went up Peak Chair and rode over to Harmony, as Kyle wanted to check it out. It was really nice over there, snow was soft, and visibility was better. We did a couple of fun runs down to Symphony Chair. I got Kyle to throw a frontside 360 which he stomped for the first time. We were both stoked with that. Did a run from Green down to Garb, just finding air on as many side hits as possible. Went back up Garb, rode down to Creek and called it a day.
Kyle leaves Whistler today. In fact I think he’s probably at the bus stop right now. I’m stoked we were able to catch up and go riding a couple of times. Also stoked he had a great time here and wants to come back next season. He also mentioned he will try to make it to The Shred later this year.
