Laps on Mt. Roberts
Yesterday, Cole and I did a couple laps on Mt. Roberts. It was some of the best skiing I have had all year! Unfortunately I kinda forgot to turn on my helmet camera a couple of times, but I still have this little vid!

So Much Fun!
Such a good day today! We received a bit more snow, which made pretty much every cliff boost fun and doable. I have a dope edit almost ready to be revealed. Keep your eyes open for it!
And here is a picture of the Dark Knight:

Richard's Frontflip Attempts
Who would go skiing in a t-shirt and two hoodies in -10 weather? The Romanian/German Richard Olariu of course! because he's "a rugby player..."

Candide Kamera 2.
Rediculous, that is all I have to say.
Candide proves once again that he is untouchable.

Slush Cup
Today, Red resort filled up an icey, slippery hole for skier and snowboarders to skim across. Some notable moments were: -Todd Larsen on a sit-ski with firecrackers attatched to it..
-Three pairs of bindings with people in them mounted on one pair of skis.
And I ended up winning... weird.

Rainy Day.
Since it is raining outside today, I am lacking motivation to ride my roadbike up to the ski hill. This brings an end to my 28 day streak of skiing everyday. I am at 111 days in total - pretty good!

Deck Photos
This time of year brings sun, fun people, and deteriorating snow conditions to the ski hill. On days when the skiing isn't stellar I often find myself sitting in the sun on the deck at the ski hill, possibly eating: nachos, oatmeal, ramen, poutine, or pizza. Ali stole my camera and snapped some off some of these on such a day.

Sunny Powder!
Saturday was nice and sunny for the 45cms of light, fluffy snow we have recieved during the past week. Here are some photos taken by Nathan. I'll try to get my hands on some more soon.
I spent today rebuilding the bowl jump (BJ) with Ty and Jay, it will hopefully be ready for Thursday. I think there will be a pretty fun session on it.

Here is a short clip from the trees to the skiers right of Link's Line.

Fat-y-Pus Skis.
So there was a Fat-y-pus demo at the hill the other day and being my curious self, I was intrigued by their excessively fat skis. After getting Anna Hogarth to sign a waiver for me (thanks! - it's weird that I'm a legal adult, can vote, pay taxes, buy porn, but I can't sign my own waivers!!?) I hopped on a pair of their 194 "D-senders" - their longest, stiffest ski.
I have to say I had a slightly negative bias toward these skis just because of their corny name and marketing techniques, but these skis definitely blew my expectations away. They are super stable and damp, and surprisingly light for how damp they are - I could pop little 3s off the ground easily. They hold an edge really well and I didn't notice any tip flap (I don't really watch my skis while I'm skiing...). I think they would be just fine in the trees, they definitely felt shorter than my 190 Rubys which perform fabulously in the trees. I would definitely buy a pair of 194's, despite only skiing them in a few conditions, they seem like a very versatile, well rounded ski.
