so anouther epic pow day, forgot my camera AGAIN ! but took a few pics with mah phone .
had anouther 18cm overnight , went up with my mates and some more, did some epic pow runs, getting first lines on most things we hit in the morning. i am really enjoying the terrain here, its very different to the large open spaces at whistler, lots more tree runs, bowls , and gullys and with all this pow great to launch off and land in a nice fluffy pillow. came back for lunch pritty shattered after 6.30 hours hard riding, after one hour headed out and spend an hour boarding pow… as my first time on pow on a board, it was hard work , had a few good stacks but at least the landing was soft hahaha
here is some picks , one more day here tomoz then off to revelstoke on monday.. very excite

Yeah Blake! Nice score! Looks awesome…
Nice Blake! Seems like you’ve been having pow days each time :D
yeah every day i have been riding so far has been a pow day.. so stoked. :D
The snow looks awesome, blake!!!!!
I might have to get meself a pair of skis and poles too!!!!! There’s never enough hangin space after boardin!!!!!
so today was probabaly my best day on snow ever . the pow was so deep and light and i got heaps of fresh lines on runs with a good 25cm plus on the runs carving that up was epic. after they got tracked out, and i had scoped out the hill a bit better today and yesterday. i hit up the glade runs omfg fresh lines, super deep like waist deep oh man.. so many emotion.. i was a bit sad i had noone to share it with.
kept going becuase it was so awsome.. perhaps a little too long as it turns out. , hit somthing in the pow at speed and it jarred my left ankle/ shin copped it somthing feirce. , was in agony and i had to download on the gondala :( never downloaded before hahaa right now i cant put a boot on it , ski or snowboard i tried both, so i dont know if il be riding tommrow. :( (will have 2 passes spare for someone male )
pics as soon as i can get this gay internet to upload them
shit thats no good mate…well the pow is, not the injury!
Get some dutch courage into you and board the pain away!
Medicare will be waiting for you when you return
