Catchup Time — Skiing

Skiing has been stupidly epic. I had three Cypress powder days recently. This isn’t one of them. That’s my buddy Derek shredding the trees at Apex. He’s about 50 feet from the chair here.

Same day, different guy, out of bounds.

This is from a recent trip to Whistler. It’s a Bruce Rowles shot (it’s always good to have a local guide. Hence the website…).

Typical, lots of snow, and no sunshine.

The Lawnmower Tour — Day 1

The Lawnmower? Well, I guess Die Rasenmarer is an OK name for a German biking tour company, but the translation is pretty funny. German freeride icons Holger Meyer and Karen Eller put together this trip and it’s a good one. Lots of funny characters on this tour. Karen couldn’t come out because she was so very pregnant at the time….(**UPDATE :: She gave birth to a little girl named Leni on October 3rd, which is also MY BIRTHDAY!!! I predict she will be good looking, stylish, and so suave just like all Oct. 3rd people).

After yesterday’s heli trip, the heavens opened up so I found some things wrong with my bike and skipped riding in the bike park in the slop.

Instead, I saved myself for the pool table in the evening. Unfortunately, Team Canada lost to the Germans, but our team was a lot prettier thanks to the Sugoi Women’s Dirt Series coaches being in attendance.

If you happen to be one of the Nelson crew, check out Peter, the guy on the right. Jumbo Shrimps’ long lost evil twin?

CycleActive XC Tour — Day V

Another day, another mountain to climb. This time it’s Harper, and it’s a solid climb. At least the vbiews are the usual stellar quality.

Again, but in colour this time.

Harper is a really cool place to ride, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a free dogger or an xc purist. There’s something there for everyone. Of course, there’s also lots of stunts if youre so inclined. Craig got inclined.

Clinton showed us how to ride in a straight line.

Barry continued his assessment of the BC bridgework.

Craig continued his inclinations.

Paul got into the action too.

Decisions, decisions….

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! It’s after me!

Oh never mind. Here’s Kick Ass Kate on a high skinny bridge. Don’t mess with the barrister. She’s pretty tough.

Em’s had a moderatley tough day, but got it together for this ramp.

Awwww…look at the tired little guide. I’ll get you for this.
