Christmas, Skiing, and a Car Wreck

While I’m at it, I guess I didn’t tell you a thing about Christmas. Besides all the usual family stuff, there was this…

Not us, but we came around the corner about 30 seconds later. Crazy chick flipped the car at around 110 or 120. NOT A SCRATCH. I think I got more injured on broken glass opening the door than she did. So lucky. Another car length and she was in the river, and it was plenty cold.

Here’s another angle.

And we did a bit of touring. Keeping with the theme of all the other ski pics so far this winter, it’s dark, gloomy and full of freshies. Here’s Barb on the shoulder of Apex.

I gotta tell the truth. I only ride bikes to fund my skiing habit. It’s nice to have a bit of snow and cold for a change. All that hot weather last summer was starting to get to me.

As you can tell from the pics, its been storming pretty much every time I get out. Yesterday we were out on Seymour in the fog for about six hours. Not bad for the backyard. Definitely heavy skiing, but there was a few turns of pow under the big trees. It’s what you make it. Anyway, no pics turned out. I’ve been getting decent video, but no good stills.

Speaking of vid, go to this cool eurotrash site that hosts action vids and check out what I’ve been doing with my spare time. You have to register, but there’s tons of stuff on there. You can find Bush Pilot related items HERE. I’ve got 3 vids up on there. Slow downloads but they’re all 5-7 minute vids.

Here’s a couple of stills from a recent day at Whistler.

We skiied the ridge in the left foreground. The classic line off of Flute.

Unknown girlie dropping in below the cornice on Piccolo. She was cute, too.

I’ll be heading to the Kootenays to check out some steep, deep, and cheap all next week.

Shtay tuned.
