WOW great vid!!!

Is that camera on your head? So cool, even some soft snow on top it looks like

Thanks man.

I will be at Mont Tremblant end of Jan if anyone wants to hook up and go riding
Ya I have an older GoPro mounted to my helmet. They had a few cms of fresh, not tons but fun to ride in for sure. Be sure to post some pictures of your MT trip!

^ I don't have a GoPro but I'll take some pics for sure. Just hoping its not icy, that's my only wish. I hate scraping around... like I said I was spoiled @ Powder King for so long having deep powder most days

I also heard Tremblant is notorious for being COLD... which is good because the kids will probably pussy out and I'll get to go riding solo :D

After 5 years I decided to dust off and tune my snowboard last night during the fights. Went out again today with a buddy and it felt good to board again, great conditions always help too. Some screen shots here, I'll post the video of our first run of the day as well.



























Sweet run! Awesome mountain.

Im at the mountain..got here at 1 A.M. why so late?..because i had to make a quick stop at the E.R. my kid broke his rib wrestling hours before we were 'spose to leave on our vacay.

i can see the slopes from our airbnb window...it's beautiful. They got 5" of new snow last night.
Why am i looking at the slopes from my room? Because flu!
Fun times.

My husband didn't give a shit..he grabbed his gear and went snowboarding.

I was going to go to mountain high but a bad cold is keeping me home and I don't want to risk having lung problems again.

Leaving tomorrow for 6 days to Quebec..! Its not BC but hopefully there is at least some snow.

Gonna try to teach my nephew to ski, and bringing my brazilian parents-in-law to explore the village life and get that ski-chalet experience. Ski-in Ski-out, it will be GREAT

Rented a roof box and a bunch o gear for everyone because I have none. Board I rented looks a bit old/bashed but we'll see how she rides



Back Jan 27, I'll post some pics.

Be well, mofos

moved to AZ last year from Oregon, just got up the mountain on Thursday for the first time in a couple years (newborns).
Still managed to wax my skis and ride the mountain from lift-open to lift-close.

the resort is called "Snowbowl", it's in Flagstaff.
Frankly, it was a perfect day. 38F, clear, no wind, lots of base snow and well-groomed. After a 3 year lay-off, you won't find me off-piste, and I was just loving cruising the groomers. But make no mistake, it's not CO, OR, or Whistler...

it's tough, because I wasn't as steady as I normally ski - so I ended up going slower, working harder, tiring quicker, feeling more unsteady...vicious cycle.

By the time I headed to the pub, my thighs were so tender, I could have put Col Sanders out of business.

So i'm thinking that i will head to powder king this winter. from their trail map it looks like they've got some legit glades/tree areas.

Any hot tips for the mountain??

^ You are likely to enjoy. Its been a long time since I have been there but unless this global warmin stuff is real they had the best snowfall/powder conditions in the province.

If its a nice day I recommend a hike to the peak. You take a chairlift up, then you can take a T-Bar a little higher.. but from the top of the T-Bar you can unstrap and hike maybe 30 minutes to to peak and get a little taste of backcountry/heli skiing type conditions.

Also go in the TREES!!! Powder King is awesome for trees nicely spaced etc.

If you actually go hit me up I can give some more details. Its not that big a of a mountain really, only 1 lift and the Tbar but conditions and terrain make up for it
