Everything that could go wrong today has gone wrong. Missed the bag check time (40mins prior to departure even my us friend said she never heard of that) so got bumped to the 10am flight ( which was the flight I was originally on before I booked the early one)

Buses etc became a nightmare so I have booked as rental car now and should be in Whistler by 4pm, although now my flight is boarding late. And they have hinted at a mechanical issue. :sigh:

It does feel a little weird that you are not here!

About to hit the mountain for Finneys Birthday Shred. We are hitting every lift, which should be an interesting first day!

I’m working today so unfortunately i don’t think i’ll see you guys. Unless you come through the learning area at midstation. I’ll be wearing a bright orange jacket that says “snow school” on it…. hahahahaha LOL

But have a sick day! Hopefully you can find some fresh stuff shaka

What a day to arrive! Was so sick today. Did a couple quick ones on Emerald the spent the whole day in Symphony. The bowls on the right side are fantastic, apart from the fact you can’t see a metre in front of you.

Fresh tracks tomorrow! It’s absolutely dumping now. I REAAAALLLLLY hope they get to open the alpine tomorrow but I have a funny feeling some bad avalanche conditions may ruin that party :(

Amazing day today! Some much snow, we didn’t expect so much snow. Will let Finney tell the story of the day.

Heading out for rounds tonight. Looking for a riding buddy on Thursday if anyone is free.

 

Fresh tracks tomorrow with a brand new board!!! Super Pumped!

2 weeks to go before I fly out! Can’t wait!
Quick question, I stop over in San Francisco for 2 days en route to Vancouver. Is it cheaper to buy snow gear in the USA or in Canada? I’m looking for a new jacket and boots.
