The End is Near....
Almost time to come home, so with a tinge of sadness, I'm beginning to wrap things up over here. I'm still trying one last attempt at getting over to Apex, heading to Vancouver and checking out Whislter. But with all...[ more... ]

Back from Kicking Horse
Well I survived... between the drive across the Trans-Canada Highway, Rogers Pass, the water slide at the hotel and the steepest terrain I've ever ridden, I was sure that this road trip might be my last. Having said that, it...[ more... ]

Powder Days
Today was my first true powder day. 10cm of new fluffy snow landed last night, and the first few runs of today were absolutely magical. It literally feels as though you're floating above the snow, as though you were on...[ more... ]
