Hey there big fella…..

You don’t see this every day. He’s even dressed up for the occasion.

Shreddin’ With Brettro

Posted on January 2, 2009 by Smoke

Can you believe it? I missed riding Sun Peaks yesterday. It’s not like I partied that hard, but we were feeling kinda laid back.

Couldn’t do that today. Even though it was seriously cold this morning (-32C at the top), we were out early.

Seems like everyone else was too. The lineups at the bottom were HUGE. But when we got up to the top…..nobody was around. I guess they just want to sit on the high speed lifts. Who cares if there’s lots of pow to shred.

Granted, it was a bit cold up there, but so worth it.

Tippie and his ca. 1993 Rossi race deck. Now you know why we call him ‘Brettro’.

Well, that and also cause he’s old.

A self portrait at sunset.

And the sunset itself. Just hitting the summit for the last run at nearly 5PM, and it’s a long run down. It was nearly dark by the time we finished. Good thng Brett is so charming, or we’d have been in a lot more trouble with the ladies.

Happy New Year…and Congratulations

Oh great…,she’s gonna be THAT girl. Figures.

My favourite New Year’s parties are the random out in the mountain kind. Not used to seeing a professional caterer at them though.

Then again, I’m not used to seeing the Big Pig at New Year’s either.

It was a bit of a special occasion, mind. Even the Duke of Glenmorangie showed up. I think he heard it was an open bar. He was disappointed, but he still performed appropriate ceremonial tasks anyway.
