First Run of the Year on Granite

On Saturday, I went for a little walk up Granite to see how the snow was. I was very pleasantly surprise at how good the conditions were. 4 hour bootpack was definitely worth it.

October Skiing In Rossland

Every fall, usually in October, snow begins to fall in Rossland. All the youngins of the community tend to celebrate this event with some makeshift skiing and snowboarding.
Here is a little video from such an occasion.

The Insignifigance of Humans



Yeah, we are nothing in the grand scheme of things.
There pretty much has to be some other forms of life out there.

Snow!

It snowed in Rossland on Monday, stoked! I have been super busy with skiing, school, and getting ready for our soccer provincials next week in Abbotsford.

So Stoked!

So, I came across Nicolas Muller's segment from this years Absinthe movie "Neverland"
I have been stoked on Nicolas' riding for years, but this just blew my mind with how sick it was.


I probably like it so much because that is my favorite type of skiing to do and I can relate to it very easily.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
