Ski Season…Done

Everyone seems to have decided that this year was a bust for skiing.

Well, I guess it started a bit slow.

Admittedly, there was a bit of a drought mid-season where it didn’t snow much at all.  I found something fun to do.

There was also enough sporadic snowfall to keep things freshened up enough to keep me from total boredom.

Also, the competitive side of the sport reveled in the conditions.

It seemed like a province wide phenomenon, as I found on some road tripping to Revelstoke…

..and also in Retallack.

Thus I finished the season off not with a whimper, but with a bang.  Like always.  Also, Tippie.

That was awesome, but there’s now a good 7 months or so of biking to get ready for.

You Can Go Home Again

I found myself back in North Van recently.  It was a bit surreal, as I have been riding on the old trails a little more than once a year since 2007.

They’ve really changed.

It was good to get out for a shred with Tippie, but although the title of the post might be true…

…I just can’t stay around here long.

More good times in the Interior ahead, but I think this season is getting short.   I smell snow in the air.

Retallack Legends – 3

I’m not even going to try to top yesterday.  Record setting multiple heli drops?  Yeah, we got it done.

I didn’t make it out to the Legends trip last year, but everything I’ve heard tells me that this we got more riding, with better weather, on better trails, with a much more relaxed and awesome atmosphere.  Schley and Tippie were awesome the whole time, and as always we had a great crew of riders to share the trails with.

Today we got up late, ate a bunch of great food, slayed trails all day, and finished it up with some more great eats with these guys:

I think that pretty much says it all
