Whistiling in the Winter Wonder Land

I have never been one who would take his ski’s off and trek a kilometer around a mountain peak but the other sunday i did just that. ‘Fun’ Oly Lyon is a keen mountainer and climber who took us back country.

Out of Blackcomb Glacier, up the spear head and treverse around the peak until we reached just short of 7th Heaven, we found a kicker and a whole lot POW! (Powder not Prisoners of War) After a couple runs we had a flat track and were getting some air. After wiping out on the runup drop Oly decided to dig a snowhole. I let my feet do some talking and then we climbed out to arrive back in town at 6, skiing in front of a cat to ski some groomed courdrouy.

Sunday at 6 see’s the fire and ice show which i saw again from the GLC veranda. Attending is a good idea for free hot chocolate and hot dogs are available, and if your lucky you may even win the free Heli Ski trip, and that would be awsome!http://farm1.static.flickr.com/132/399496678_2ef876becd.jpg

Karreokke Monday’s precedde’s the inevitable 80′s nights, where for free beer i will sing Maccho Man, Thanks Colin. And out here it was great to see Blanche, Emily and Mark assembeling aquatic undersea costumes for Valentine’s.

Finally caught up with Robbo for a day’s ‘push it to the limit’, Tom likes to take his time on the lifts, and i bumped into Rowland at the top of a 10 minute hike is search of fresh tarcks and deep snow
. We took some Oriental border chicks for steep powder above Jersey Cream, and i found a cool cornice

The time also came where i was privaleged to wear the blue and yellow of the Whistler Blackcomb Ski School. Looking pretty sharp i shadowed into 2 schools aiding in the teaching. Whats better is that i got to ride the mountain will the full respect of Public, and on Presidents week, it get really busy, so jumping the life queue is essential. Twice up and down the Whistler Boal on Peak in 20 minutes with a 40 minute line, cheers Johnathan and Chris! Meet some happy Huskies
as well, i love the blue eyed ones.

With some freetyle coaching to finish the week, and 180′s now in the bag, who needs twin tips,
im off to Vancouver

latest photos are here and some but new ones here

    Morss – I can’t understand half of what you say.

    “I let my feet do some talking and then we climbed out to arrive back in town at 6, skiing in front of a cat to ski some groomed courdrouy.”
    What is that supposed to mean?

    Did you always talk in such a confusing way, or is it slang specific to snowboarding in Whistler?

    Anyway, glad you’re having a good time (is that what it said?)

    I suppose some bits are filled with local banter and ski jargon, but i have never been the great writer i had hoped. Some of the pictures relate to the text directly and yeah i am having an awsome time, later on G Emma
