Oh wait…it got better. Another 2ocms overnight, on top of the previous 50.

I pulled out the new tele’s in honour of the day.

Well, that and I managed to wear a hole in my shin with my DH boots. Barb’s been suffering with a gnarly one since the 2nd day of the trip.

No time for that though….

It’s too deep for little details like that.

Oh yeah…and not even that many people were out AND…..

…the Summit chair derailed at 10:30 in the morning so although rock stars like yours truly got in some prime Summit side runs, the hordes had yet to track it out and it kept snowing all day. Most of the pigs went home early, so we poked around the Silver side for the afternoon and chewed up lower White Queen.

Looks like tomorrow is a sure thing…..

Home hill time. FINALLY….the quad is open. Bottomless turns everywhere. As usual, the snow is a bit thin early in the year, but then again I was all over the hill and in the woods all day long and only hit 2 rocks.

That’s gotta be an Apex record.

12cms overnight, and around 30 in the cycle.

A little Fireball in the outtabounds helps too.

More Okanagan pow with Barb.

The World Junior Hockey Championships are in Vancouver right now, and we got free tickets to the quarter finals. Team USA vs. the Czech Republic.

SCORE!!!

You actually get a better idea of how good our seats were by clicking on the picture.

Row 6, sweet eh?

Now, before my American friends get all upset about the following images….I gotta make a couple of points. First off, it’s hockey, the unofficial national sport of Canada. No prisoners my friends. Also, there is a certain percentage of Americans who really bring it on themselves. To wit…..

Um….yeah. Allow us to retort….

Mostly due to Jack Johnson’s cheap shot the other night vs Team Canada (if you don’t know, then you won’t care).

Anyway, it was an awesome first period, and the whole game was pretty good except for the Czechs continual sucking at one-timers on the power play. Even though they out played the US, they lost 2-1. The US goalie (a Vancouver Canuck draftee, no less) really saved this one for the yanks.

Here’s to the USA and Canada in the final. It’ll be a good ‘un.
