Weeeeeelll.

Yesterday alysha and I did the AST-1 Course. Great. really awesome to get the knowledge!

And yeah i spent an hour and 15 mins getting up the mountain in the gondy. got on at 8:45am - SOOOOO many wind stops and slows that i didn’t get off until 10am. anyways everyone should have been traversing across to harmony because that was LEGIT light and fluffy powder. no where near as heavy as the bottom of emerald and garb. did the course at the bottom of harmony because the avi risk was too high (ha the irony)

today would be amazing- should have called in sick!

I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you. long face

Yeah, I wish I wasn’t stuck working today. Enjoy it out there, guys!

The base is at 159cm now… getting there. This is good news. Hopefully it will be over two metres by the time I get back in three weeks.

Rode the peak chair today then went over and hit up the tree runs off 7th. Gotta say guys, the riding today was glorious!  cheese

TG’s is now up - has a couple of ‘good-to-practice-spins-and-grabs-off’ jumps and also three boxes. Went for a mellow ride through on my way back to the village.

Was so nice to get out there and ride some tree pow though!

Thanks, Jeremy!

After today, I feel like the season is now ‘ON’. Good times ahead folks!

Off to Baker on Friday night, where they are expecting possibly 30cm of snow throughout Friday and Friday night. My Malolo will definitely be featuring cheese

I’m looking forward to hearing all about Baker. I would love to visit there one day soon.

Damn you guys talk a lot on here. I really should check in more often.

Also, the weather is looking pretty rough, we cancelled our trip to Mt Baker this weekend as they had 70mm of r**n forecast and 10 degrees the next day!

Damn, that’s rough.

Yeah, a lot of us are pretty bored at work and just need an outlet for snow talk. Hopefully I can change that soon… lol.

Winter this year in Aus, I have a season pass so we will be down there heaps!

So one forecast has 2m of snow in the next few days: http://

Another has less, but still fair decent numbers: www.snow-forecast.com…...

No matter what it’s looking like mid mountain freezing levels. Start your “freezing level dropping dances” ladies!
